Show Parent card on Relations column

Alexey Flores

More often than not, we have production steps that are similar to many different assets. When those are shown on the same kanban or timeline, it becomes very hard to identify whose that steps is from.

If we could show the parent card as a relation on cards, that would be incredible

Even though we have the relations on the kanban view we can't really cont on them staying visible to figure out what the card is about. Having a field with the parent card clearly marked on the sub-card, like we have done with the "component" would be very useful. Not sure if that's the same thing we're requesting. But it looked pretty similar.

Sebastian Zethraeus: Yes, it is the same. If I understand you would like to make it more visible like a tag or something else correct?

Alexey Flores current visibility is there, but again is that enough for you (example from Sebastians picture where the parent card is visible in the relations column on a kanban)?

Sebastian Zethraeus

Dovidas Baranauskas: yeah something like that. Perhaps even a solution like showing the parent name in the Board name could be an option. So we wouldn't have to write it out in every task card ourselves.

But then you would of course have to choose which board has the "main" structure for the name and also how many parents upstream to display.

Hi Alexey Flores, could you clarify a bit more on that? The relations option in cards shows the parent card.

Alexey Flores

Dovidas Baranauskas: Hi, Dovidas! Sure. The it currently goes in our Publishing production pipeline, is that we have a lot of video assets that we breakdown in production steps.
So for your common video asset, you would have your storyboard -> animatic -> production -> sfx -> mixing
When we have many different assets on a kanban, I want to have an easy way to look at it and find out who's the parent of each card without having to click oine by one. Currently no view allows me to show the Parent for cards, so we have to resort to include an acronymn of the asset in the beginning of the card name, which is definitely not the most elegant solution considering this information is already existant

Alexey Flores: Thanks, to clarify, you mean you have hierarchy on the board (in the sheet view), when you switch to Kanban view on that board, you dont see the parent card?

Alexey Flores

Hans Dahlström: Precisely! Neither the Kanban view nor the Timeline view. I would really appreciate if we could have a way of seeing the direct parent just by looking at the card on either views.
