Swimlanes doesn't work on my Kanban board

Carlos Cardoso_ml9ntw

My swimlanes simply doesn't work on my Kanban board.

1. My board is managed by the company.

2. I've tried sorting swimlanes by epic, story, owner, etc.

3. I've removed all filters from the board, but it doesn't work.

I can organize by grouping my epics.

Hi @Carlos Cardoso If you want to show the custom groups defined in in the board setting, you will have to select "Group: Queries".

I've recorded a quick Loom to demonstrate how it works:

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Hi @Carlos Cardoso

Would you please clarify what does not work as expected? For example, when I do X, what I instead see is Y. Seeing a screen image may help too.

And, you note using a company-managed project with a Kanban board. That has both the Group By dropdown field on the board and the Swimlanes configuration under the board settings. Which one are you using?

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Carlos,

What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? You need to give us more information than that. What are you expecting to see based on the data on your board that you are not seeing?

Hello @Bill Sheboy

I'm using a company-managed Kanban board, but I can only see the Swimlanes I've configured when I group them by epics.

@Bill Sheboy Is this expected behavior?

John Funk

Do you have any cards on your board? Because you are not displaying any. Do you have Epics displayed on your board?

Hi @John Funk

Is this expected behavior?

John Funk

What is it that you are wanting to see on the board? If Epics, then try basing the swimlanes on Query and put in: issuetype = Epic for the swimlane code.

Bill Sheboy

@Carlos Cardoso -- Thanks for those screen images, and that appears to be correct.

I found several defects around this behavior, explaining the documentation problem where the swimlanes feature now only works when you also select the Group By to match it. This could definitely cause confusion for a team.

You may watch / vote for those to see progress on them:

Hi @Bill Sheboy

So the Swimlanes function in the board layout no longer exists, is that it?

Hi @Jens Schumacher - Released_so

Thank you very much, I will try to organize via JQL the visualization of the lanes by a query that brings me only the epics that are not in the backlog and their respective tasks and subtasks
