When creating a child story within the same release, release cannot be found in the new child story

Existing story in a release

Creating a related child story

Unable to see release

When I'm creating a child story within a release, I cannot find the release and I'm unable to disable the filter. I've attached screenshots so you can see what I'm doing. Thoughts?

Hi @njacobs125! Thanks for your question. I believe the cause is that you must first provide a value in the Project lookup, because the Release lookup is restricted to releases for the related project.

The selection of a project and a release is normally done for you through the New Story screen flow, but I think you've customized the record page (which is terrific!) and are using the standard New Record action/form to create the child story. I removed these standard actions in as many places as I could in the package to try to elevate the New Story screen flow as the primary data entry method.

Product feedback request: My original use case for child stories was creating them from the release's Story List or Story Kanban, and designating a Parent Story, but I think you're creating them from the parent story (which is the reverse). Do you think it would be helpful if I could make the New Story flow available for creating child stories from the parent?

Regards,
Mitch

@egyptguy Thank you for your prompt response! Your assumptions are correct. It would be extremely helpful to make the New Story flow available for creating child stories from the parent, yes! Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, too.

Thanks @njacobs125! Your feedback is greatly appreciated! I'd love to hear how you're using Imhotep and if it's helping at all - feel free to drop a note any time! I'll post back here, too, if/when I can make that change for child stories and there's an updated package available.

Wonderful @egyptguy ! I'm working through our first real project with it and would be happy to show you how we're using it once I have it fleshed out. Thank you!
