Priority swimlane no longer working

Question

Hi, recently i think Jira changed the priority wording from e.g. "highest" to "P1" and this seems to have broken my swimlane, which previously had query

priority = Highest

I've updated this to

priority = P1

of which priority is selected from the dropdown when typing the query, as is P1, and then ensured the board is set to sort by query as before, but the swimlane does not work.

Any ideas? Thanks

I found that changing the JQL to Priority = 1 achieved my goal of filtering the "Highest" priority tickets into a swimlane. I have tested and 1-5 are the values that correspond to Highest - Lowest.

Hello Alex, I had the same issue with swimlanes and the only workaround I've found was going to Swimlanes tab under board settings

then drag and drop the swimlane above or under an already existing one.

This fixed it for me
