Released Epics don't appear on Kanban board as Complete

Question

I have a Kanban board that shows all the issues Completed in the Done column, however it does not show the Completed Epics if the Release has been set to "Released", but it does show the Stories and Tasks for that release. How do I show all Issues regardless of type in the Done column?

Hello @Shannon.Donahue

Welcome to the community.

Are you setting the Fix Version (i.e. Release) for both your Epics and your Stories and Tasks?

There is often a sub-filter on the kanban boards to exclude any issue that is in a Fix Version that has been set to Released. This would be shown in Board Settings > General

The concept is that if the issue is in a Released Fix Version then it should no longer been shown on the board.

So, your scenario suggests to me that the Fix Version field is not getting set on your Stories and Tasks, but is getting set in your Epics, and you do have the above sub-filter on your board.

If you want the "released" Stories and Tasks to also disappear, fill in the Fix Version for those issues.

If you want the board to display all issues even when they are in a released Fix Version, then remove the sub-filter from your board.
