How to filter epics on the Kanban board in a team managed project

Question

Hello,

I'm experimenting with a team managed project and I would like to be able to filter epics on its Kanban board. But after setting up and using a custom filter, the board does not show the epics which match the filter.

Is it even possible to set up custom filters for epics in a team managed project? And if yes, what should I do differently?

My steps:

1. The epics have a custom dropdown field named 'Strategy'

2. I've defined a custom filter to select epics with this specific Strategy.

3. When I select no filter I see all epics (currently only 2). This is as expected.

4. But when I select the custom filter, it does not show the epic which I expect to match the filter.

I hope someone can help me out here.

Cheers,

Kristel

Gave that a try, but still no luck.

I am thinking you need to remove [dropdown] - so your JQL should be "Strategy" = "2023 Q1 - Findability"

Hadn't yet thought about verifying the JQL like that, so thanks for the tip.

Tried it out just now and yes, the JQL produces the expected results in the search.
