"Quick Filter" In Company Managed Jira Project

Question

While using team managed Jira Board there have some default "Quick Filter" (like: Feature, Label, Type), but in company managed board they don't have. Is there any way to add "Quick Filters" in company managed project?

(**Please share the JQL for the same)

While this is an accurate answer for how to create Quick Filters, unfortunately Quick Filters can't be used to reproduce the identical filters from the Team Managed board.

Those Team Managed board filters are multi-select lists. Quick Filters in Company Managed projects can't be used to create multi-select list filters. Quick Filters in Company Managed projects are based on JQL filters, and so you would have to create individual Quick filters for each Epic, for each Label, and for each Issue Type that might display in the Company Managed board.

Hi @Arun Biju

For the specific filter drop downs you are sharing you wouldn't be able to get quick filters on the board like that for company managed projects. The reason they exist for Team Managed projects is Team Managed projects are fully self contained. Where as in theory a company managed project could include every project at the company. For larger jira instances anything with dropdowns actually have performance impacts and in some cases (like Agile tools plugin) aren't recommended for certain sized instances. Thus while they may be useful for smaller instances functionality needs to work properly across all instance sizes. Basically this is an advantage of a fully self contained project.

There maybe some Marketplace add ons that add this functionality: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/

Yes, you can create additional Quick Filters in a board for a Company-Managed Project.

By default, a board (in a Company-Managed Project) contains two Quick Filters, called 'Only My Issues' and 'Recently Updated'

You can create additional Quick Filters or edit existing Quick Filters. Any additional Quick Filters that you create will appear as buttons next to the 'Only My Issues' and 'Recently Updated' buttons on the board.

To do this:

* Go to your board, then select more () > Board settings. (NOTE: This requires admin permissions.)
* Click the Quick Filters tab.
* Edit the Quick Filters, as described in the following table and screenshot (below)
