Using filters on a board and getting status that are out side my scheme - how to fix?

unknown

I want to be able to use a filter similar to the one below on my kanban or scrum board but when I use it - it's pulling in every status that might be used by other issues in the jira instance.  I only want it to show the ones in my scheme - any suggestions?

project = GLPLENABLE OR issuetype = epic AND "which other teams are involved?" = gi_plat_enabler OR labels = gi_plat_enabler ORDER BY Rank ASC

 

I know it's the which other teams are involved and/or the labels that is causing this but I need this to help me have accurate information for the teams/squads in my area.  I know I can just move the unused status's to the unmapped status column but I really don't want another 20 or more statuses listed and more importantly I really don't want the squads using just any status that they want to.

 

Thanks, Ann

Hey Borgel!

In fact, you are correct to say that both ORs in your query is specifying that the issues returned by this query must be of the issue type Epic or labels = gi_plat_enabler, so you are not limiting your query to return only the statuses of your project, but all the project statuses which issues have one of the specified values.

It is expected that the board will display all the status in the board columns for where the issues can be moved.

That been said, there are three ways to correct this:

1 - Change your Query

Change the parameters in your query to don't return the issues from the different projects. Like:

project = GLPLENABLE AND issuetype = epic AND "which other teams are involved?" = gi_plat_enabler OR (project = GLPLENABLE AND labels = gi_plat_enabler ORDER BY Rank ASC)

2 - Move the issues from the other projects to the GLPLENABLE

3 - Unmap the status from your board columns, as you mentioned

Let us know if this information helps.
