Swimlanes Feature Level

[Haya Bawati]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if it’s currently possible to display swimlanes on a board by feature.

I’ve already tried configuring swimlanes using JQL queries, but I was wondering if there are any newer or improved methods available to achieve this more effectively.

If anyone has experience with this or knows of alternative approaches, I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thanks in advance! 🙌

Hello @Haya Bawati 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

When you say Feature level do you mean that you have modified the Work Type hierarchy to add a level for Feature types above Epics?

If so, then the only native method for creating Swimlanes in a board based on such a level is to use JQL queries to explicitly define a swimlane for each Feature. You can use he portfolioChildIssuesOf() function to get the child work items for a specific feature.
