Question

With subcase hierarchies, there are two new search axes in FogBugz 7: outline and parent.

• Outline gives you all cases in the entire tree which contains the given case.
• Parent gives you only the immediate children of the given case.

Is there a way to get all descendants of a case?

Example:

101 --- 102 --- 103
   \
    --- 104 --- 105 --- 107
           \
            --- 106

• Searching for outline:104 gives you all cases shown, 101-107.
• Searching for parent:104 gives you 105 and 106 (but not 107).
• Can you get everything below 104 with something like ancestor:104?

Answer 1

Outline and parent are currently the only subcase-related search axes. If you need to see a sub-tree, you must search for the full outline, then collapse (or ignore) the subtrees you aren't interested in.

I have opened a feature request case to consider adding this functionality in a future version of FogBugz. If you would like to see this implemented, please up-vote the question.
