Unable to Group by Parent in Stacked bar chart - ADO Dashboard widget

Question

I have been trying to group by parent in Stacked bar graph. Parent field doesn't appear on the group by list. Is it not possible to group by parent? Any other alternatives?

Tried to create a custom filed with parent info. But this is an additional work for those create work item

I'm afraid it's not supported to group by parent in Stacked bar currently.

As per the doc, users can add the field in the query column so that the field will be listed in the chart dropdown list.

For example, add Iteration Path and custom field field2 in query column, save, they will appear in the chart dropdown list, but parent will NOT be listed.

As a workaround, you could use the custom field which has same value with parent, and group by the custom field in the chart instead.

I totally understand your query, you can raise a user voice ticket to link here to add or fix it, thanks.
