Lost "swimlane" view of Board organized by Priority

Question

I have 5 priority levels: Highest, High, Medium, Low, Lowest.

I have had and still have a Filter on my board:

project = Design ORDER BY Rank ASC

This organized the board into 4 swimlanes:

Expedite

High

Medium

Other

This view has worked for years and it suddenly stopped working this month.

Was there a Jira update that broke the code? I am noticing a lot of unwelcome changes to the UI that are pulling me backwards. :-/

Thank you, Chad!

I have that set up already too, but Jira no longer obeys it after years of being fine. This is why I tink Jira broke something: I changed nothing.🤔

Hi @Tina Dussault,

You should be able to solve this using the "Queries" option for Swimlanes. Just navigate to the Swimlanes tab in your board configuration settings and add a swimlane with a simple JQL statement for each priority:

Cheers!
