Parent - Child relationship - Matrix Visual

Hello, 

 

I am trying to create a Matrix visual of project reporting based on Issues from Jira.

 

I have one Issues table and to simplify it, I have 3 levels in this table in ISSUE_TYPE_NAME column.

These are Epic → Story → Subtask.

 

I want them to visualize something like this

Has anyone solved an issue similar to this?

There is a column PARENT_ISSUE_ID I am using to create the parent-child relationship.

I've been pretty much following these instructions.

Unfortunately, I am getting this result

What it does is, that it doesn't display the parent on the child level - which is good and desired.
In this case, the UPCD-25 Issue is not displayed on the 2nd level and UPCD-26 is not displayed on the 3rd level - that's what I wanted.


The problem is with the columns LINK, STATUS and SUMMARY - as you can see, if there is a child to the parent issue, the Parent issue is displayed with blank values, but I want the values related to this parent issue displayed.

Meaning in this view the UPCD -1,12,25,26,27,28,29,30,45 should not be blank, but should contain their values, but at the same time, should not be displayed when drilling to another level at all.

Hope this makes sense. Does anybody have some tips, on how to make it work?
Much appreciated!
