When filtering Epics, issues not showing

Louis Royster

I am setting up some new projects and what I have done in the past is use the filter to feed all those projects into one "Main" board. This helps me keep track of that team as whole instead of having to switch to 3 or 4 different projects.

For all the projects we use Epics but for the main board I want to filter them out.

project in ("Project 1", "Project 2") AND issuetype != Epic ORDER BY Rank ASC

The problem with this is that it also filters all the stories that are tied to that Epic.

Does anyone know how to filter the Epics but keep the stories tied to that Epic?

Hi @Louis Royster -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Have you tried to invert your query, looking only for the issue types you want? For example:

project IN ("Project 1", "Project 2") AND issuetype IN (Story, Task, Bug) ORDER BY Rank ASC

Best regards,

Bill

Hey Bill thanks for the response! That does not work and does that same thing. What is weird is that when I run the filter it returns all the stories and none of the epics, but when I go to the backlog for that project I don't see any Epics or Stories tied to Epics.

Hi, Louis. That is interesting...Let's try to break down what you are seeing into pieces...

Where is your shared board stored: in a stand-alone project, in one of the source projects (e.g. "Project 1", "Project 2", etc.), or in your profile?
The backlog for a project should show everything for that project...except when you have enabled things like Epic Panel. In that case, the epics show in the panel. Do you have the panel enabled?
When you compare the source projects (E.g. "Project 1", "Project 2", etc.) how do their workflows compare? Are they the same for each respective issue type?
Again for the source projects, how do their status values and mapping compare? Are they the same or different by project? If different, have you looked at the shared board's status mapping to columns to see if there are any unmapped status values?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Hey @Bill Sheboy

1. The boards are both stand-alone projects. Each product only has one board and the Main board belongs to the Main Project.

2. Epic Panel is not enabled.

3. Workflows and statuses are the same for each project/board.

4. Everything is mapped the same, same columns, same statuses, same workflow.
