Search by Kanban board names

[Sally Evans]

Hi, 

This should be simple - we have multiple Kanban boards on our project and I want to be able to produce a 'list' of issues for specific Kanban boards, but I can't work out when the field name for Kanban boards is - can someone advise.

Thank you

Hi @Sally Evans 

An easy way to do this is to search by the Filter ID since a board is a visual representation of whatever its filter query is.

So if you go into Board settings > General  tab > hit ‘Edit Filter Query’

This will redirect you another page - In the URL, take a note of the filter's ID

You’re going to want to search for this part in the URL: ?filter=XXXX

^take the numbers (XXXX) after the equals sign.

You can then use Advanced Issue Search and query a list of issues for specific boards within a project:

e.g. project IN (<project key>) AND filter = XXXXX AND filter = YYYYY

Hope that helps!

Hi Hamza, 

Again thanks for the quick response.  That's exactly what I needed.

Hi @Sally Evans a Kanban Board is always based on a board filter (and a sub-filter if applicable). This filter shows the related issues for the board. If you are a board administrator, just check the board configuration to see the used filter.

Hi @Dave Mathijs 

Thanks for the quick response.  I'm not an administrator, short of asking one of them is there a way for me to do it?

If you're not a board administrator or a Jira administrator, you cannot know which filter is being used. Please have one of those people confirm this for you.
