Timeline is not working after filter changes

Jussi Soro

I have created a board for a project, which includes only issues and subtasks from a single epic. The filter I'm using is:

project = COM AND (issuetype = Story AND parentEpic IN (COM-946)) OR (issuetype = sub-task AND parentEpic IN (COM-946)) ORDER BY Rank ASC

This works, it lists all the issues I want to see in the Kanban board.

For some reason, the timeline does not work, it gives me an error message saying:

"Timelines can only contain issues from one project. To create an agile plan across multiple teams and projects, try Plans in Jira Premium.

To use this timeline, edit your board filter to include issues from [PROJECT NAME] only"

All the issues that are listed in the filter view are starting with COM, so what could be the problem here?

Accepted answers

OK, got this solved by myself, by changing the filter to:

project = COM AND (project = COM AND issuetype = Story AND parentEpic IN (COM-946)) OR (project = COM AND issuetype = sub-task AND parentEpic IN (COM-946)) ORDER BY Rank ASC

It also says "The current board filter doesn't include a project, so it will search for issues across all the projects on your site. This impacts load times, and your team may struggle to access the board, issues or sprints." in board settings. But why is that, because the first term in filter defines the project.

Hi @Jussi Soro

Welcome to the community.

Track back your JQL.

Does the time line work with the filter being: project = com order by rank asc
Does the time line work with the filter being: project = com and issuetype = Story AND parentEpic IN (COM-946) order by rank asc
Does the time line work with the filter being: project = com and issuetype=StoryANDparentEpicIN (COM-946) or project = com and issuetype = sub-task AND parentEpic IN (COM-946) order by rank asc

If it all does, then combine the clause, if this fails then the combine does not comply to a single project

Jussi Soro

Thanks for this, seems that the problem was not setting the project to search on individually on each filter term. I assumed setting the project in the first term would do that.

Hi @Jussi Soro and @Marc -Devoteam-

I'm having the same issue with the timeline, but I'm struggling to understand the way you managed to fix that. I can't find a setting to change the JQL for the board. I'm using a team-managed Software project, and I don't have any other projects. It's odd, but it seems like the timeline stopped working when I deleted "old project tags" (which I never used when adding issues - they've just been there since I set up the project, so I thought I would delete them).

I can see all the Epiks in the List and Issues tab (with query "project = FSS ORDER BY created DESC", but not in Board or Backlog. Creating a new Epik just causes it to disappear from the two latter. When I create a new project, the timeline shows fine.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi @Wojciech Cranfield

If you go to "Configure Board" from top right "..." what do you see in Board Filter?

By default, it should be just "project = FSS ORDER BY Rank ASC"

Wojciech Cranfield

@Jussi SoroI don't see anything like this there. I can only change the columns and statuses from this page.

Jussi Soro

Oh, that's different in Team Managed projects. You can't edit the board filters on team managed projects, as they always only bring the issues in that project. So your problem might be somewhere else than filter. I don't have an answer for that though, why that is happening.
