I want to make a quick filter that enable only Epics and Epics' subtasks to show in Kanban

leiye2

I create a Kanban, and want to see only the Epic status, including it's subtask status.

So I writed a quick filter: issuetype = Epic.

But then I found out the subtasks are not showing on Kanban.

But when I write: issue type = Epic OR issue type = sub-task, I found out the userstories popped out (which is not right for me, I just want to see the Epic and it's subtasks.)

How can I make that?

Hi leiye2 and Welcome,

 

Using out-of-the-box features you can retrieve Epics and subtasks using a quckfilter but you cannot further refine the query to retrieve only subtask directly created under an Epic

For the first option your quickfilter should look like:

 

type= Epic OR type in subTaskIssueTypes()

 

If you only want to display subtask directly belonging to an Epic, you must go for a third-party application, i.e. using JQL Booster Pack (FREE) your quickfilter should look like:

 

type = Epic OR issue IN subtasksOf("type = Epic")

 

In case any of the above filters doesn't work as expected, try to set your swinmlanes configuration as 'No Swimlanes'

 

Hope this helps,
Best regards
