in
Use Case:
User wants to make a filter that shows all item A that have an upstream relation to item B, where item B has a specific Release value.

For example: Show me all bugs that that have an upstream feature in release version 2.

Problem Statement:
User cannot make the filter described above. The 'release' field is not a value that can be filtered on in an embedded filter.

    Hi @Tom,
    We no longer respond directly to each feature request unless our Product team has specific questions as they work on a functional area, so that's why we've been silent - it isn't something being currently developed. As to why this is not something that has been prioritized, I surmise that because an easy-enough workaround does exist (using keywords as Tigger mentions below), the need for this ability doesn't come up often.

    Thanks for the update, Kristina.  While disappointing, the message is clear.

    For those interested, our use case will be satisfied by adding a roll-up field to the upper-level item (requirement) that sums the values of the downstream items (verifications).  In doing so, it's not necessary to use embedded filtering.
