How to filter List view and “All work” based on the current board filter in Jira Cloud?

Naresh Sampath

I’m using a Jira Cloud instance and need clarification on filtering behavior.

We have multiple boards, and for each board, we have already created a separate JQL filter.
Our requirement is that the List view and “All work” should display issues only based on the current board’s filter, not all issues from the project.

Currently, List and All work show issues beyond the board scope.

Could you please confirm:

• Is it possible to make List view and All work respect the current board filter?

• If yes, what is the correct way to configure this in Jira Cloud?

• If not, is there any recommended workaround or best practice?

Please let me know if this is expected behavior or if additional configuration is required.

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Hello,

Welcome to community

Please find details below

• Is it possible to make List view and All work respect the current board filter?

No, this is expected behavior.

In Jira Cloud:

• The board (Scrum/Kanban) uses its own board filter (JQL).

• The List view and All work views are project‑level views, and by default they:

            are not tied to a particular board, and therefore do not automatically use the board’s JQL filter, even if the board lives in that same project.

So what you’re seeing (List / All work showing issues beyond the board scope) matches current design.

Thank You,
