Filtering ideas by multiple labels

Question

Hi, just finding my way around the new Product Discovery capability.

I have an Ideas board with many different ideas listed.

I am trying to work out the best way to label/categorise the ideas so that I can filter by more than one criterion.

E.g. in the product I am working on, it's possible to write song lyrics. We have many ideas regarding song lyrics - some relate to useability, some relate to new features for lyrics, etc.

I want to be able to filter my ideas so that I can show only those that are both "lyrics" and "useability", or "lyrics" and "new features".

I currently have multiple labels on my ideas, but when I select to filter the board by e.g. "lyrics" and "useability", I get all ideas that relate to lyrics or useability. I want to show only ideas relating to lyrics and useability.

Is this possible in the current build? I realise I could do an issue search etc. but I want to have access to that in a board, similar to how I would have it in a spreadsheet where I can filter by multiple criteria.

Cheers,

Michael

Bump. I would also like the label filter to only show ideas with labels X AND Y.

Thank you, that's a good thought - in this particular case we have a pretty large number of categories so this solution won't work for it, but that's good to know. Cheers!

One not-so-great workaround I can think of - it really depends on how many options you have - is to create a separate field of type "checkbox" for each aspect.

E.g. lyrics: checkbox field, usability: checkbox field

That way you can do a filter on "lyrics:checked and usability:checked"

The way the filters currently work is to do an "and" between a list of individual filters (each based on a single field). but for each of these filters you can only do an "or" for values in the field
