JQL for Multiple Swimlanes Based on Queries

Nicholas Ren

Hi. 

I don't have any knowledge about JQL so I'm seeking help from individuals that do. 

I am looking to create swimlanes on my Kanban board based on a field in my Epics. I have a field called Projects and this has multiple choices called Data and BDT. So when an Epic has both of these choices selected, the same Epic will appear in both the Data swimlane and BDT swimlane.

 

Thanks,

Hi @Nicholas Ren 

You can build your JQL using the basic search by simply selected your criteria, it simple and efficient, select your field, select a value and search. It will work perfectly in your case.

If you want to learn JQL, it's quite simple, you just need to spend some time on it to learn it, there is some great resources on Atlassian website: 

• https://www.atlassian.com/blog/jira-software/jql-the-most-flexible-way-to-search-jira-14
• https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/what-is-advanced-searching-in-jira-cloud/

In your case the JQL filter should be: 

Projects in ("Data", "BDT")

But again using the basic search and by selecting your criteria, you can do it easily. 

I hope this helps. 

Cheers,
Dam.
