How to display only Stories on jira backlog?

Bryan Liff

With the default JIRA Agile "backlog" board all [non-Epic] issue types are displayed (Bugs, Tasks, Improvements, and Stories), but a true "backlog" should only display (consider) Stories.

But when the default configuration is updated to only display Stories, then the Epics disappear from the Epics panel as well as their tags in the Story list view.

How can I display only Stories in the Agile (Scrum) backlog by default without changing any other display / filter criteria?

Hi Bryan,

It isn't possible to configure the board to do that without changing its filters. However, you should be able to do it by simply adding "AND issuetype in (Story, Epic)" to the board's filter. e.g.:

project = DEMO and issuetype in (Story, Epic) ORDER BY Rank ASC

I hope this helps!
