Swimlanes show done/closed epics

Olga_lywurb

Hi, I have read all community posts about this, but nothing worked out....

I want swimlanes based on OPEN/IN PROGRESS epics. With the standard swimlane config the old stuff also shows up.

What I already tried: 
- Create quickfilter to exclude closed/done epics. --> Does not work properly, instead ALL swimlanes get hidden. JQL: issuetype = Epic AND status not in (Closed, Done)
- Configure basis board filter --> Does not work. excludes all other issuetypes AND swimlanes are not visible anymore. JQL: project = "XY" AND "Epic Status" not in (Done)
- Creating individual JQL queries for swimlanes --> does not work. I must create one query per epic, what does not makes sense, as new epics will not appear automatically in the board. 

PLEASE HELP!

Hello @Olga

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

I understand that you would like to create a board view where you only have OPEN/IN PROGRESS epics and they are further viewed / configured as 'swimlanes per epic'.

You can try the below steps :

1. Create a filter by navigating to Filter > Advanced issue search and use JQL issuetype = Epic AND status not in (Closed, Done). Save the filter.
   
   
2. Create a board by navigating to Your work > Boards > View all boards > Create a board, and choose kanban board.
   
   
3. Create board from JQL filter : Choose the last option : Set name and use the filter saved in first step. Location can be personal or any project.
4. Make sure you are seeing all Epics excepts the Closed or Done on the board.
5. Click the 3 dots top right corner of the board to access board settings > choose swimlanes and in the drop down select 'Base Swimlanes on Epic'.

Please share the results.
