From today, the team have noticed that Sub-tasks are displaying on the Backlog.
The query states NOT to show them, but they still display. Any ideas why?
Whats changed?
Hi @Lee Street,
Can you share more details about your setup? What product do you use for this kanban board (Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Jira Work Management) and what type of project is this (company or team managed)?
Ideally, can you share a screenshot of the behaviour you're seeing?
Hi Walter,
Kanban Board
Jira Software
Company managed.
The behavior is Sub-tasks appear in the Backlog. No query has changed on our side (query states do not return Sub-Tasks), but they still appear.
I am seeing sub-tasks on my kanban backlog too; how did you technically implement this exactly:
query states do not return Sub-Tasks
they were not there before.
Through JQL - IssueType not Subtasks (im sure you know that though) :-)
Hi @Lee Street
There was a relatively recent change where some customers (who were adding story points to subtasks) wanted subtasks to display in the backlog views.
There is no option to disable this behavior. I was unable to find any open suggestions for an option to turnoff the feature.
One temporary workaround is to use quick filters to hide the subtasks, but that needs to be repeatedly re-enabled whenever the board is displayed. A more persistent workaround is to change the board filter to hide subtasks for the backlog status:
project = myProjectName AND NOT (issuetype = Sub-task AND status = Backlog) ORDER BY Rank ASC
Kind regards,Bill
Thanks @Bill Sheboy
A poor proposed enhancement IMO :-)
