How can I view child plans?
Asked by Richard Cross:

Is there a convenient way in which I can see which child plans were triggered afer a parent plan has built?

Is there an overview anywhere that shows the parent/child relationship between plans?

I have run some testings using our REST API and, unfortunately, the same is not working as expected.

I would suggest adding any comments to the issue above as well as [voting](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Watching+and+Voting+on+an+Issue) on the issue to create its popularity and likelihood of being fixed..

Please, notice in the build reason you can see the dependency being displayed.

You can review that by going to "*Plan configuration \>\> Dependencies*" tab.

If you find this answer useful, I would kindly ask you to accept it so the same will be visible to others who might be facing the same issue you have inquired.

Thank you for your understanding.

body: Unfortunately, the method above is not \*convenient\*, as it involves first going into the configuration of the parent plan to find out the child dependencies, opening a separate browser window on each and every child plan, and then checking whether they built against the particular parent plan build you're interested in.Your second answer shows how to view child plans only - where can I see the complete chain, where:Plan A -\> Plan B -\> Plan C -\> Plan D


author: Richard Cross
body: What I was hoping for was a way to see which child plans triggered from the parent plan's summary screen. The relationship of parent-child is one-to-many, therefore it would make sense to go to just one place to see the downstream plans, wouldn't it?
