How to create a swimlane with JQL to group by stories

Question

Hi,

Today when creating a swimlane we can base them on:
- stories
- JQL
- Other....

What I'm looking for is an extended version of the "Stories" based grouping. For this I'm looking for a JQL query to do the same than the "Stories" option.

Is it possible?

PS: I wish to group by stories, but also have a lane for expedites etc... by example

Thanks

For example: you could write queries in this way (this is not a "good" query, but would work).

issuekey = ABC-123

That would make a swimlane called ABC-123.

yes, and no.

You can use the Queries swimlane control then create queries specifically for each Story you want - but if I'm understanding your question, no - it's not possible to do what you're asking by default.  
You can maybe write fancy JQL queries and assign them to the swimlanes, but that sort of querying would be fairly specific to how you organize your work.

You might want to consider checking some addons for additional kanban board tools, but none of the ones I have explored would allow you to extend the Story-Swimlane functionality to do what you're asking.
