Filter Closed and OBE tasks from Jira BackLog view

Marcus Chaney_omreef

Good Afternoon,

I am reaching out to see if there's a way besides using "quick filters" on the board, to eliminate seeing "closed" or "obe" items in our Jira backlog. Previously, we didn't see these items; however, after some changes, those legacy items (dating back to 2016) are showing up in our backlog. Any assistance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Marcus

Please share your board filter. "OBE"? Closed issues most certainly should not be on the backlog.

You could just change the filter for the board/backlog to remove closed/resolved/done issues with "...AND statusCategory not in (Done)"

Here's the filter for our board:

project = INF AND issuetype not in (Theme) AND resolution = Unresolved ORDER BY "Rank (Obsolete)" ASC

I'm fairly new to Jira. I have a general filter for our entire board which is:

project = INF AND issuetype not in (Theme) AND resolution = Unresolved ORDER BY "Rank (Obsolete)" ASC

Where do I find the backlog specific area to filter? I'm currently under Board --> Configure --> General

mrcrandell.sw

Its the same filter. There is not one for backlog and another for the actual board.

Okay, cool! That certainly cleared the closed items from the backlog view, but also from my active sprint, which we like to track. Is there way to exclude filtering out "done" items from the active sprint view?

I think the issue is that you are not setting the Resolution field when issues are moved to Closed (or whatever your terminal state is).
