Is it possible to enhance the Blocker Detail/Reason functionality to systematically populate the status and include the blocker detail based on the hierarchy in the absence of a unique blocker reason entry at each level?

 

For Example:

    - A blocker with reason/detail entry at the task level does not roll up to the story level. The only rollup is the status of the story will show blocked.  

 

Desired behavior:

    - A blocker with reason/detail entry at the task level rolls up to the story and epic level to indicate the story         and epic (if any) are blocked 

    - The blocker reason entered at the task level will display at the task level (status and detail) 

    - The blocker status and reason entered at the task level will roll up and be populated/presented at the              story level unless unique text for the blocker was entered at the story level

 

 

Please let me know if there is a different venue to send suggestions for enhancements.

 

Thank you ,

Hi Amy! Actually the place for enhancements/feature requests is ideas.rallydev.com. You might even find someone else has the same idea!  Thanks!

Thank you John.  I found an idea already submitted that matched most of my request : Blocked task details in Story schedule section (D3061) so I added a comment.  For previously submitted ideas that are in the 'Not Planned' status, are these revisited? Or, would it be better for me to submit a new request?

Hey @Amy Xydias, nice find! I think existing ideas are revisited based on # of votes as well as date posted, but I believe a duplicate idea would probably be merged to the existing one. I think the best thing to do is vote for the idea you like, and share it with others to get that vote count up!!

@Amy Xydias, further to John's comment, Not Planned doesn't imply that the idea has been considered and rejected- it just means that the idea is still under consideration. I thought the same as you (little unintuitive) but you can be comfortable that the idea is still being looked at.
