"Done" Epics are showing up in Epics list filter

[Simon Marks]

Since last week (w/c 09/10/2023), the Epics list filter on the Backlog page has been showing every Epic we've ever had, most of which are set as "Done". It makes it incredibly difficult to find one of our handful of active epics.

Is this a bug introduced last week or is there a new way to hide completed epics from the list?

Hi @Simon Marks -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Have you seen this article about the changes to the epic panel now using the Status Category of the epic's Status (and no longer the sunsetting field Epic Status):

If not, the ways to clean that up are described in the post.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks Bill!

Hello @Simon Marks 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Is this for a board for a Company Managed project or a Team Managed project?

Do you have more than one done/green status in the workflow for Epics? If you do, are both statuses mapped to the column farthest to the right in your board, or are they mapped to separate columns?

Are all the child issues of the Epics also set to done/green statuses?
