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

[Marc Schoneveld]

As a Scrum Master, I want to filter my Feature board (Kanban board) by Epic, so that my team can quickly see the status of all Features belonging to a specific Epic — without having to switch to the Plan/Timeline view.

Use case: We use Epics as strategic containers and Features (issue type) as deliverables on a Kanban board. During refinement or stand-ups, we often want to focus on one Epic at a time. Currently the board's quick filters only support labels, assignees, and issue types — not parent Epic.

Workaround today: Switch to Plan view or use a JQL-based filter, but this breaks the visual Kanban flow.

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.
