Add Epic filter to Kanban/Scrum boards (company-managed projects)

Hi  and Welcome to Atlassian Community @Marc Schoneveld 

Epic swimlanes group your work visually, but they won't isolate a single selected Epic on demand.

To filter by a single Epic, check if the native Epic / Parent dropdown filter is available in your board's filter panel. If it's not present, a board administrator can create static Quick Filters (Board settings → Quick filters) using JQL:

parent = EPIC-123

(Note: You will need a separate quick filter for each Epic, as dynamic Quick Filter dropdowns are not supported yet—tracked under JRACLOUD-85789).

Since parent targets direct child items (e.g., Epic → Feature), this works as long as your Features live directly under the Epic.

Does the native Epic/Parent dropdown appear in your filter panel, and are both your Epics and Features located in the same project?

Best,

Hi @Marc Schoneveld

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If your goal is to focus the board on work grouped by Epic, have you considered using Epic swimlanes?

On company-managed boards, you can configure the board to group issues by their parent Epic.

Board settings --> Layout --> Swimlanes -->Epics

This won't filter the board down to a single Epic, but it does organize all issues into separate swimlanes by Epic, making it much easier to review the work associated with each one while staying on the board.
