How do get subtasks to NOT show in the active sprint view (company managed project)

[Alex Tang]

I have a company managed project that we're doing sprints with.  We want to use subtasks to keep track of things, but we don't want them to appear separately in the sprint view.  

Is there a way to create subtasks but keep the stories as the unit that is tracked in the active sprint board?

Hi @Alex Tang -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What do you mean by the "sprint view"?

If you wanted to drop the subtasks from the board, backlog, and reports, try adding this to your board filter:

AND issueType NOT IN subTaskIssueTypes()

If you want to toggle this on/off as needed, you could instead add a quick filter to the board instead.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks Bill. 

By "Sprint View" I meant the active sprint view in my board. 

Unfortunately, adding a quick filter didn't work for me because although it makes the subtasks not appear in the "active sprint" view, it still shows the parent stories as parent stories (not as cards). 

Setting the board filter to use `issueType NOT IN subTaskIssuetypes()` works though, so that's good enough for now. Thanks.
