Does changing the filter on Kanban board affect the Ranking?

Rosa M Fossi

Hello Community,

Management team wants to change 4 of our main Kanban boards from using labels as one of its query criteria, to using a custom field I just created. 

There are hundreds of tickets in this project... 800+. The boards are -of course-  dynamic,  and all issues within the boards are ranked.

I can't find any documentation anywhere that confirms whether changing the filter will blow up the existing ranking...  the issues that the new query using the custom field retrieves are exact matches; but my job might be at risk if I change the filter and their ranking explodes. ðŸ˜£

Any insight would be appreciated!!

Filters choose issues for a report or view, they do not alter the issues they select for.  So, no, using a filter will not change the rank (or anything else)

Hello,

If you change the filter, it will not delete the ranking as long as you do not add the order by clause to your JQL filter. And even if you add the order by clause, you can always remove the order by clause and use the global ranking.
