Note: Tasklists and the tracks and tracked by fields for Projects are currently in beta and subject to change.

{% endnote %}

You can enable the "Tracks" and "Tracked by" fields on your projects to see the relationships between your issues as you add subtasks in tasklists. For more information about creating issue hierarchies in tasklists, see "AUTOTITLE."

The "Tracked by" field can be used to group items, creating a view that clearly shows the subtasks of each issue and the work required to complete them. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."

You can also filter by the "Tracked by" field to display only items that are tracked by specific issues. You can start by typing "tracked-by" and select an issue from the list. Or, if you know the repository and issue number, you can type the following filter in full:

tracked-by:"<OWNER>/<REPO>#<ISSUE NUMBER>"

To use the filter, replace <OWNER> with the repository owner, <REPO> with the repository name, and <ISSUE NUMBER> with the issue number. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
