How can I show descriptions for custom filters on board?

[Greg R]

I've created multiple useful custom filters for our team to quickly navigate and manage the board, on a Team-Managed project. This includes descriptions. However, no description is visible on the actual board, including the tooltip text when hovering over the filter.

Example filter:

---

NAME: Outstanding Bug

DESCRIPTION: Bug has not been resolved for 3 months or more

JQL: project = PROJECT AND type = Bug AND created <= startOfDay("-3M") AND resolution = Unresolved

---

Other examples include filtering by stakeholder or entity who requested the change, upcoming due date, issue status, and No Fix Version when it's already ready for release.

The expectation is that team members and viewers will be able to read the description of the filter on hovering the cursor over the filter name, seeing the description in the tooltip.

Any ways to enable this, or have I encountered a bug?

HI @Greg R 

Welcome to the community.

This is not a bug, it's by design.

Filter names as a best practice should be clean and simple and not be a description of wjat is found.

I only use a description for a filter if the filter name  would be unuseful or to long ot explain the use of the filter.
