Adding bugs for specific EPICs to my dashboard

[Luke Niccolls]

Hey there, 

I am trying to add a specific gadget to my dashboard whereby I can track bugs. We have projects setup as EPICs and when going to add this gadget I have the project setup to the correct category. I have "type" as EPICs and bugs, but would like to go one further where I can select the EPICs (projects) in question as all of them aren't needed. 

Is there a way to do this at a more granular level? 

Best,

Luke

Hey Luke - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You won't be able to do that with out of the box Jira. You will need an add-on like Rich Filters to be able to filter items in the dashboard.

Hi @Luke Niccolls , it sounds like you want to filter your board type = bug for a specific epic(s)? If so, you have "Epic" and "Type" drop downs. Maybe you are looking for something else?

It's being able to select the EPICs I would like within that gadget. If you're free for a call and I can screen share pls let me know.

Ah..."dashboard" not "board". 🙂

as John mentions, there is no support for dynamic gadget filtering. You can either:

• use the board to view the results
• create various filters, one for each epic or set of epics ant type = bug then associate to gadgets on your dashboard 
• consider an addon

Welcome to the community, @Luke Niccolls,

I am Marlene, product manager of Quick Filters for Jira Dashboards.

If you want to filter your dashboard gadgets per epic, you could check out our app. Our app comes with a Quick Controller gadget that enables you to filter all Quick gadgets on your dashboard dynamically.

You can test Quick Filters for Jira Dashboards without installation on our demo dashboards.

Hi @Luke Niccolls,

A good solution for you would be the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) gadget offered by our Great Gadgets app. This gadget displays the issues from a filter or JQL by their hierarchy: Epic > Story, Task, Bug > Sub-task along with their status.

All you have to do is to configure the gadget with a JQL that returns the epics and bugs: 

issueType IN (Epic, Bug)  

And it will display the data exactly as you want:
