Quick Filter to show active stories & bugs and include subtasks (regardless of status)

Lisa Thomas_pr7aqe

Under Active Sprints, I only want to view stories and bugs that are active.  I am using swim lanes  (set to Stories) to display my stories/bugs and their subtasks.  The problem with my filter is that it also removes subtasks that are done/rejected.  In short, I want to only show active parent items (stories & bugs), if the story or bug has subtasks, I want to display subtasks for active parent items regardless of the subtasks status. 

 

• Show only active Stories and Bugs in the sprint

• Hide Done / Rejected Stories and Bugs

• Show subtasks for those active parents, regardless of subtask status (Done, Rejected, etc.)

Hello @Lisa Thomas 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

What is the filter that you are currently using?

I don't believe that you can construct the filter you want if you have only native Jira filtering capabilities.

Essentially you want a two part filter; i.e.

"Stories/Bugs that are not Done/Rejected" or "subtasks of ("Stories/Bugs that are not Done/Rejected")"

Jira does not natively support filtering for subtasks of items where the item lists itself is a filter. A filter like that would require a third party app that extends the Jira JQL capabilities. There are several such apps available. Does your company already subscribe to such an app or would they be open to subscribing to such an app?

Some of the apps that could provide this functionality are included within the following searches from the Atlassian Marketplace. Not all the listed apps provide that type of functionality.
