I want to group the filters with some categories, how to make it happen?

I have so many filters, I want to group some of them into one group and then to better manage them, how to do that?

Hi @Lingping 

The best you can do is to come up with a naming convention.  This will make them easier to search for.

Hi @Lingping,

welcome to the community!

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't available in Jira, at least not out of the box. This being said, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you'll have options available.

E.g., you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your work items (issues) that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your work item fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, or Smartsheet.

Every so-called sheet in JXL is powered by a JQL statement - in a sense, it is like a supercharged filter. As you can have as many sheets as you want per project, and organize your sheets in an arbitrarily deep folder structure, you should be able to implement your vision very nicely.

This is how it looks in action:

As you can see above, you can also sort your sheets by different criteria, e.g. alphabetically based on their title.

I should also add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable work item hierarchies, to work item grouping by any work item field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
