I would like to know if i can add a filter to my kanban board that will let me filter by epic?

[Graeme Hill]

So i w have multiple epics on my kanban board and if i want to see only the stories linked to a specific EPIC on the kanban board can i add this?

currently i only have 2 filters that i think are default they are only my issues and recently added.

Im just not sure on how to write out the JQL code to get this working

Hello @Graeme Hill 

On both scrum or kanban board, you can add a quick filter to filter all the stories belonging to s specific epic, by creating a quick filter based on the following JQL

"Epic Link" = ABC-19

here's ABC-19 is the issue key of the epic.

Here's how to add the quick link on the board

And if i want a dropdown list of ALL the epics in the project (or on the board) to filter by?

Hello @Graeme Hill 

If you want to see the list of all epics in the project, then best is to configure swimlanes based on epics.

[Graeme Hill]

Yes i tried that but there are so many that it looks very confusing

Hi @Graeme Hill ,

I want to confirm which type of board you are currently using? Scrum or Kanban?

Can you take a screenshot?

[Graeme Hill]

Kanban board

You can refer to the advice given by @Tarun Sapra

Ok great and if i want to have all of the epics in the project listed as a dropdown in the filter there can i add more then 1 to the JQL ?

[Ollie Guan]

Yes, but if Epic is more, it may be troublesome.

[Graeme Hill]

Ok so there is not a way to make a drop down list and then add the epics you want to be able to filter by into it?
