How to hide closed Epics from Kanban view?

Földes László

In the Scrum view if I mark an Epic as "Done", hides the Epic from the left Epic panel (by setting the "Epic Status" as "Done").

However these Epics are still on a Kanban view (of the same project), I want to hide them (and all its tasks) as well.

How can I achieve this? Can I apply a filter for this? The "Epic Status" field does not exist for Task type issues.

The question is, do you mind if the Done Epics disappear from your Backlog View as well?

If that's acceptable, just modify your board's filter to add something like (Issuetype != Epic) OR (issuetype = Epic AND epicStatus != Done)

This way, the board will only show Epics that are not Done. This won't hide the issues belonging to those epics, but since you're on Cloud, you can't install the Scriptrunner plugin that would grant you sweet JQL functions.

But if you don't want to hide the Done epics from the backlog as well, I guess you should use a quick filter that hides Done epics and Done tasks, or change your swimlane config to push back Done epics at the bottom, out of the way.

Hope this helps!

I have put this query as a sub-filter but sadly it does not hide any of the epics (one of them is hidden in Scrum view, as its Epic Status is Done).

To test the query, I modified it as: issuetype = Epic AND epicStatus != "To Do" and it still displayed all Epics...

Test #2, the filter is only: "issuetype != Epic" and Epics still appear (as swimlanes, those are based on Epics)

Seems like these Epics are more stubborn than I thought. If your swimlanes are based on Epics, then yeah I guess the Epics HAVE to be there. Otherwise, where would be the issues? Same for the backlog view. If you have issues still the board that belong to an Epic, then the Epic will be shown. You need to find a way to hide the issues belonging to the Epics as well as the Epics themselves. What do these issues belonging to a Done Epic have in common? They're all in status Done as well? If so, hide the Done issues too. I suggest a Quick filter, since you will want to toggle them back on when you close your sprint.

"then yeah I guess the Epics HAVE to be there. Otherwise, where would be the issues? " Same place, where issues are, when you watch them in Scrum view :-) I just want the Kanban view behave exactly the same as the Scrum view, nothing more.

Nicolas Bourdages

My point is that when your issues are in an Epic swimlane, it makes sense that the Epic stays there, even if only for the sake of containing your tasks. The kanban view cannot behave the same way as the backlog. That's why I say that if you want to hide an Epic in your Kanban view, you must also hide the issues it contains. All of them.

I know I am coming into this discussion very late, but I was having the same problem. The code below took the closed epics out of the Backlog View:

... AND ((Issuetype != Epic) OR (Issuetype = Epic AND status != Done)) ...

I tested this with both open and closed issues attached to the Epic. The Epic remained off the list. I think this has implications for planning, in that an epic probably should not be closed, until all of the attached issues are closed as well.

I hope this helps

Another approach would be to use labels like "closed" and then ignore all issues and epics with that label...

As part of the agile board filter we've added workflow statuses and couple of filters on the epic panel. Its easy to check which epics are in Done workflow status and have all issues closed. That way we'll be able to determine which epics should be "Marked as Done" and removed from the list.

The Agile board filter looks good, but am I alone in finding it crazy that something as simple as 'don't show an epic that has all its tasks completed and is closed out' needs all these alternate band-aid solutions, or a purchase from the App Store marketplace?
