Can we bulk add Quick Filters to a Kanban board in Jira?

[M Chandra Shekar]

Is it possible to bulk add Quick Filters to multiple Kanban boards in Jira, instead of configuring them individually for each board?

Hi @M Chandra Shekar 

No, that is not possible.

And, there is no supported REST API endpoint to add / create a quick filter for a board in order to do this with scripting.

Kind regards,
Bill

you can if you have a borad as template and use greenHopper, but is not the most reliable option

Hi @M Chandra Shekar ,

Bulk creation of Quick Filters in Jira is not possible across various Kanban boards. The Quick Filter configuration happens on an individual basis, meaning that each board must have its own Quick Filters.
Best approach: Create a saved filter and then refer to it within the Quick Filter JQL in every board, such as filter=12345. Though this means you'll still have to set up your Quick Filters individually, you can make all future changes to the logic of your filters in one spot by editing the saved filter. Check this

Hi @M Chandra Shekar 

Jira doesn’t currently let you add quick filters to multiple Kanban boards all at once. Each board has its own settings, so you have to set up quick filters individually.

If you want to make it easier, you can:

• Copy and paste the same filter into each board
• Use a saved filter in your JQL so you only manage the logic in one place
