Hi Athithya - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There isn't a concept of folders in Jira. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Hi @Athithya V

welcome to the community!

As already suggested, Jira doesn't natively allow organising filters in folders. The best that you can do is to use some kind of naming pattern, e.g. (Team A) Filter X, (Team A) Filter Y, (Team B) Filter Z, etc.

As an alternative - if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace - I believe that your use case could be solved very nicely using the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. Every so-called sheet in JXL is based on either a saved filter or a JQL statement, and can be organised in folders, like so:

I should add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
