How to clean "done" items from "Done" column in Kanban board without using 'release' feature?

Question

Hi,

I want to clean "done" items from the "Done" column  in Kanban board automatically as soon as any ticket moves to "Done" State in Kanban Board. Currently I have been doing it by releasing them manually using "Fix Version" field  .

Please suggest how to do it without using "Release Versions"??

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Deepika singh

Yes, and...to Jack's suggestion:

I recommend using the Kanban sub-filter to further refine what you want to see for completed work.  For example, this sub-filter only shows the items completed during the last business day.  That can be helpful for teams which have a daily Kanban standup to review their flow.

resolved IS EMPTY OR resolved >= startOfDay(-1d) OR resolved < startOfWeek(-1d) AND resolved >= startOfDay(-3)

Kind regards,
Bill

To be honest, the "release" button is the main "alternative" to a bulk-edit.

Automating a release or bulk-edit is the only other option really, as Jack says.

You could use Automation to set fix version but this could be complex if you care about the actual version. If not...

trigger - scheduled daily

condition - issue in done status

condition - fix version is empty

condition - compare resolutiondate to now and if the diff is say > 10d...

action - edit issue and set fix version to say 1.0
