### Problem to solve This is a follow-up to [#10482](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/10482) which added parent information display to work items views. We should extend this capability to the legacy Boards experience to provide consistency across planning views. When working in Boards, it is important to understand if an item belongs to a larger effort (parent) and be able to identify that information without needing to open or navigate to the item. ### Proposal Display a new `Parent` field on items within the legacy Boards view which identifies the direct parent (if it exists) along with the ability to see more details regarding the parent item upon hover using a [Popover component](https://design-system-pages-2b622b.gitlab.io/storybook/?path=/story/base-popover--default) (following similar pattern to our item reference popovers like seen in descriptions/comments/activity area). - Add the `Parent` field to items in the Board view - Use the [`work-item-parent`](https://design.gitlab.com/svgs/?q=%7Ework-item-parent) icon along with the `Title` when displaying the field - Truncate the `Title` so it has a max-width of `9rem` (`144px`) - On hover/focus of the `Parent` field, display the reference popover we use for items, along with a header that reads "Parent" ### Dependencies > [!warning] Important > This is only meant to be prioritized if we find the effort is minimal. This effort is dependent on capacity and prioritization. Note that the [New Boards](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/work_items/17127) experience will be offering this capability in the future, which may impact the priority and scope of this work for the legacy Boards.
