Adding bugs for specific EPICs to my dashboard

Question

Hey there,

I am trying to add a specific gadget to my dashboard whereby I can track bugs. We have projects setup as EPICs and when going to add this gadget I have the project setup to the correct category. I have "type" as EPICs and bugs, but would like to go one further where I can select the EPICs (projects) in question as all of them aren't needed.

Is there a way to do this at a more granular level?

Best,

Luke

Welcome to the community, @Luke Niccolls,

I am Marlene, product manager of Quick Filters for Jira Dashboards.

If you want to filter your dashboard gadgets per epic, you could check out our app. Our app comes with a Quick Controller gadget that enables you to filter all Quick gadgets on your dashboard dynamically.

You can test Quick Filters for Jira Dashboards without installation on our demo dashboards.

Hi @Luke Niccolls,

A good solution for you would be the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) gadget offered by our Great Gadgets app. This gadget displays the issues from a filter or JQL by their hierarchy: Epic > Story, Task, Bug > Sub-task along with their status.

All you have to do is to configure the gadget with a JQL that returns the epics and bugs:

issueType IN (Epic, Bug)

And it will display the data exactly as you want:

Ah..."dashboard" not "board". 🙂

as John mentions, there is no support for dynamic gadget filtering. You can either:

* use the board to view the results
* create various filters, one for each epic or set of epics ant type = bug then associate to gadgets on your dashboard 
* consider an addon
