How do I hide completed epics?

[Mapolo Buessing]

I have seen numerous topics about hiding completed epics from the backlog view.

I don't see any of the buttons or options described in previous posts that would allow me to do that. Please help!

I am using JIRA cloud in a Team-managed project.

@Mapolo Buessing - hi Mapolo!

Interesting, when I'm in the Backlog view on a Team Managed Project, closing an epic out immediately hides the epic.

Can you share a screenshot of where you're trying to hide the epic?

@Mapolo Buessing - whoa, that's weird! 🤷‍♂️

I clearly see your top epic as resolved, yet it still remains in the backlog... 

[Mapolo Buessing]

@Dave Liao yeah it is pretty frustrating. It makes it really hard to find the desired epics. A lot of clutter from completed epics.

@Mapolo Buessing , I am looking for an answer on this topic for a couple of days now. Since I can't find an answer anywhere, it seems to me this issue is still actual. Am I correct, or have you found a solution?

Months later, I still have the exact same problem. Let's vote for it:

• [JSWCLOUD-20741] Marking the epic as done in the team-managed (formerly next-gen) backlog does not remove the epic from the epic panel when the epic contains issues with multiple done statuses - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.
• [JSWCLOUD-21733] Do Not allow "Done" epics to be assigned as parent issue to jira stories in Team Managed project. - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.
