How to maintain Epic>Stories>Sub-tasks view while showing only a few Epics from the project?

Vinayak Kumbhakern

I have a Kanban board that shows work-items grouped by Epics (i.e., Swimlanes are based on Epics) and under an Epic rows I can see stories plus if there are sub-tasks under that story then those too inside the story card.

For the above view my board's filter query is basically "project = projectName" which means the board is showing all the epics but I want to see only a few epics. Is there a way to retain the above view/layout and show only the epics that I would want to see?

Hi Vinayak, welcome to the community!

Have you used board Quick Filters? You can find them in the board settings. This will allow you to create additional "sub-filters" to filter down the board even more.

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi, @Vinayak Kumbhakern
Couple of quick questions you should answer before you further filter.
What are the requirements for the "show only the epics that I would want to see?"
Are those requirements static or will they remain constant?
You could set a board sub-filter.
You could also create a Quick Filter.
Another thing although it would change the look of the Board is to turn on the Epics panel and change your swimlanes.

When tired using "issuekey in (PROJ-1140, PROJ-4214)" in board sub-filter or as Quick Filter then board did not show any epics at all.. board was empty.

Vinayak Kumbhakern

Yes tried. Please see my answer above to @Craig Nodwell

Couple of things here:
Are those two issues in an In Progress statusCategory?
If these are in a statusCategory of To Do and that status is mapped to the backlog they won't show in the board, check the status of the issues.
Have you setup a backlog?
If yes check in there.

Just a note.
There are only 3 Status Categories.
To Do
In Progress
Done
When a status is created a request for the category is popped up.

Also does the jql return the issues from a search?

You could try this:

issue in (PROJ-1140, PROJ-4214) or parent in (PROJ-1140, PROJ-4214)

Vinayak Kumbhakern

I won't be able to confirm statusCategory as I don't have admin access on Jira instance. However, one item is in "In Progress" status and another is in "Open" status.

For Kanban board I haven't selected Backlog option.

And, "issue in (PROJ-1140, PROJ-4214)" returns those two issues.

Vinayak Kumbhakern

Same result still. Board is empty.
