How can I use Structure transformation to group by JIRA filters

[Rajal Shah]

Hello - I use the JIRA data center product and have Structure.

I have a structure with all the issues I want to display. I want to group those issues by the list of JIRA filters (not the structure filter) that I have created in JIRA.

How can I group by view by those JIRA filters?

Hi @Rajal Shah 

You can’t directly group by saved JIRA filters inside Structure, since filters themselves aren’t a field value — but there’s a practical workaround.

If each of your filters targets a specific set of issues, try adding a custom field or label that represents that filter (for example, “Filter: UI Bugs” or “Filter: Sprint Planning”). Then, update your JQL or automation to assign that value automatically whenever an issue meets a filter’s condition.

Once that field or label exists, you can easily group by it in Structure (using Group by → Field). This gives the same result as grouping by filters, and it stays dynamic if your filters update regularly.

Alternatively, if you use Automation for Jira or Scriptrunner, you can sync filter results into a field automatically, so it stays hands-off.

Thank you. I get your workaround.. there way too many ad-hoc filters for me to adopt the workaround. I think handling of labels and filters might be a good enhancement to the product if technically feasible.
