How do I stop Epics being counted in Kanban column issue counts?

Question

Hi community,

I need a little help, I have a Kanban board with "Base SwimLanes on Epics" option and "Column Constraint Issue Count" set. I'm looking for an option to remove epics from the issue count. Currently, I can see all the issues including the epics as shown in the below image.

Please let me know if removing epics from the issue count is a possibility. I'll really appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi @Danut M _StonikByte_

Thank you for the help, this somewhat worked, I could still see some epics when I go to print the agile cards. Any workaround for that?

Thank you

Hi @Lipika Bundela,

Try excluding the epics from the board by modifying the Kanban board sub-filter from Board Settings > General tab, as in this example:

I tried moving issues to the backlog and enabled the epic panel, however, the issue count doesn't change. For example, In the "In Progress" lane issue count includes the epics as well. I was wondering if there's an option to exclude epics from the Kanban board.
