Creating a board filter in business project

[Nicole Bachus]

I think I know the answer but am posting in case I am missing something. My list of tasks in my Jira project is HUGE and I don't want them to all show up on my kanban board. There is filtering capability, and I find that I can only select one filter at a time (i.e., Items due this week, priority). I would like to see, for example, all items due this week or are very high priority. But I can only choose one of those. I would like at times to see everything To Do or In Progress due this week...nope. There is no place for me to put a JQL query that meets my needs. I know I can create an issue list that meets my needs with JQL but prefer working off the kanban board. 

Has anyone come up with any workarounds for this lack of capability?

Hello @Nicole Bachus 

Can you confirm for us the type of project with which you are working? Get that information from the Type column on the View All Projects page under the Projects menu.

If you are indeed working with a Business/Work Management project it is true that you cannot enter a free-form JQL and save it as a filter.

It is appears to be true that you can't combine the filters above the line (Assigned to Me, Due this week) with filter options below the line (Assignee, issue type, status).

I see two open change request that relate tangentially to your desired capability. You may want to add your vote and comments to them.

You might also want to reach out to Atlassian support directly to see if there is already a change request specifically about supporting JQL based filters in JWM boards.
