Quick filter Dropdown with Issue Types?

[Jose Manuel Fernandez]

Hello community,

I'd like to create a quick filter in the board that wraps all the issue types (User Stories, Bugs, Tasks, etc.) in a dropdown shape, instead of having a button for each filter.

I know Jira automatically creates a dropdown with all the quick filters, but I don't want to merge my other quick filters with these issue-type-based filters. 

Is that possible to make?

Thanks

Hi @Jose Manuel Fernandez 

Short answer: that is not possible

Longer answer:

My understanding is when you have several quick filters which would be wider than the view, Jira automagically switches to the drop-down list.  There is nothing built-in to allow you to select a grouping of quick filters for the drop-down.

There is a suggestion which seems related to this idea: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-8095

Kind regards,
Bill

Yes, if you create a separate quick filter for each issue type, it will eventually become a dropdown anyway.
