Can you change the default active quick filter for releases?

[Patrick Finn]

Hello!

I've been searching the community to see if there's a way to change the active quick filter JIRA defaults to when navigating to the "Releases" page.

Currently, ours defaults to having only "Unreleased" selected, but I would like it to show "Released" versions as well, or at least only "Released" ones as the default.

Hi @Patrick Finn,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You can either deselect Unreleased to show all or select the quick filters you want to see and it will remember this selection the next time you access Releases. Note that it only applies per user, there is no setting to make apply the same quick filters to all users.

That's the thing, it doesn't remember my selection. Even if I click "Releases" in the side nav while on that page and choosing the quick filters I want, it reverts to "Unreleased."

What version of Jira are you using?

[Patrick Finn]

v7.3.1

Okay, so it may be related to the bug that affected quick filters on the boards which was fixed in 7.2.0. I checked it on both my production environment running 7.11.1 and my test environment running 7.12.1 and on both it remembers the setting.

Hmmm, interesting! So unless I use a different version of JIRA, I'm likely stuck with this issue?

[Mikael Sandberg]

Yes, that would be my conclusion. For your reference, here is the bug related to quick filters on the boards, JSWSERVER-12898. Also note that 7.3.x will be end-of-lifed i just a couple of months, Atlassian Support End of Life Policy.

Thanks. I appreciate the insight!
