Filter for "Favorite Filters"

[Gaurav T]

The "Favorite Filters" gadget on Jira Dashboard shows a list of favorite filters plus the count of issues for each of the filters. What I want is a way to choose the filters shown in this view. The filters to be chosen may not be favorites. Is there a way to achieve this?

Not really, the point of the gadget is to display filters you've flagged as favourites, so including filters that aren't is not really useful.

The easy answer is educating the users to select their favourites, but I've also found https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/5019 is really handy too.

Any update in the last 3 years on this? The issue is more that there's no gadget that allows you to get counts on a custom list of filters (e.g., you need to periodically report to a supervisor re specific metrics, but you can't use this gadget because you also have unrelated favorite filters for different purposes). I suppose the answer would be "Use eazyBI to run custom reports." The main issue with that is the learning curve. Jira dashboards are intuitive to understand, edit, and maintain. Not so with eazyBI .

No, and I don't think it's ever going to change. The point of a gadget called "favourite filters" is that it's going to display your favourites. If you start wedging others in, it's not "favourite filters" any more. So the answer remains "educate the users" and/or "find/write a gadget that allows you to choose a favourite-but-not-favourite list of filters"
