Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I'm not sure if this is a widespread habit but the ctools project is using the parent of an issue to group the issues to be in the next release. It would therefore be useful for us if the parent issue number were present in the issue queue list.
I guess this is an edge case, but would it be hard to permit the columns in that table to be selected, either on a per user (user profile) basis or on a per-project basis?

drummParent issue number doesn’t seem very usable. A column of 7-digit numbers would kinda blends together for me.
I could see the parent issue having a special abbreviation field; and prefixing or suffixing the child issue titles with that abbreviation when displayed. Kinda like I’ve seen in other project management tools.
In general, issue queue listings are Views of Search API data. So things Views does well are things issue queue listings can do well.

rivimeyHi Drumm; thanks for responding so soon :-)
For me the real point is the difference between 'has a parent' and not and whether the parent number is the same. Prefixing solutions might work well too though, and would perhaps be easier to implement.
Would there be any point in me implementing something (i.e. would that assist in something happening?), and if I should have a go, how could I get suitable test data?

drummFor test data - we have dev sites: https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/build/development-environments/dev... Issues are truncated to the last 30 or 60 days, which should be enough to have some issues with parent issues.
I’m thinking of this abbreviating the parent issue title for the prefix. Like “Document JavaScript” → “DJS” or “DJ”. Ideally this would be automatic, but I don’t know how doable a good-enough algorithm is. For examples, I’m attaching Drupal.org’s 100 issues with the most children. We have some wordy issue titles.
