Show sub tasks in Quick Filter of Sprint Board

bahmed

Hello community members, 

I am setting up sprint board for the project, and I have setup "No Swim lanes" in the configuration to hide sub tasks, from the main board, for the audience who are just interested to see the stories in current sprint. 

However,  for the users who really wants to see all the sub-tasks associated with each story, I like to add Quick filter in the same board, which will also show all sub-tasks along with parent stories. 

I have searched forum to get some idea, but I mostly find the links to 3rd party software to achieve this using JQL. I would like to know, if JIRA have built in functionality to achieve this today, or I really have to explore third party option. 

Thanks

Quick filters are for drilling down on a board - they let you remove things from the board view to enable you to focus on things.  They do not add issues to a board, they can't because the board is supposed to only show the issues defined by the board filter, and adding random issues to a board would simply break it.

For an issue to appear on a board, it has to be selected by the board filter to begin with.  Once it's on a board, then you can use a quick filter to hide it.

So, for this case, you should

• Make sure the board filter includes all the issues you might want to see, including sub-tasks
• Add a quick-filter that enables you to toggle the view of sub-tasks. 

I often add two quick filters (so you can say "only show me issues" and "only show me sub-tasks"), and I usually do it with functions so I don't have to think about how people might re-configure the project:  "issuetype in subtaskissuetypes()" and "issuetype in standardissuetypes()"
