The mashup (custom add-on) provides a quick and easy way to hide child cards whose parents are already displayed on the view.
For example, if you have a feature with four user stories underneath it, the mashup provides a way to toggle showing these user stories when the parent feature is present on the current view. The mashup provides this functionality as a toggle, so you can freely show and hide child cards with a click of the button.
Your display setting is saved with the view as your private one. It does not affect display mode for other users.
To see the mashup in action, open a view. In the clipboard at the top of the board find Show/Hide Children button that reflects current display mode and allows to control it.
When some cards are hidden, the mashup calculates and displays total count of them.
Detailed Capabilities
Supported entities
The mashup hides:
- Nested Tasks for User Stories
