EPIC label won't appear on Backlog once Component is added to the board filter

Thomas Bithell

We want to segregate a Scrum Board's Backlog by a Component. Initially the Epic labels were there. Once we add Component to the JQL the Epic labels disappear.

JQL with Component:

"project = "Code Force One" AND component = "Seal Team" ORDER BY Rank ASC"

JQL without Comment (and Epic labels show):

"project = "Code Force One" ORDER BY Rank ASC"

I have tried several variations of JQL to include the Component but no luck. The Epic label will not show if Component is in the JQL. 

It's a horrible design. WTH?

Hi Thomas,

This behavior is reported in JSWSERVER-16178.  Please take a look at the bug ticket and if you agree that is the same issue:

1. Vote on the issue to add impact and be notified when the ticket is updated
2. Follow the suggested workaround:

Explicitly add the epics to the board filter: project = TP AND ("Epic Link" in (TP-24,TP-25) OR issue in (TP-24,TP-25)) ORDER BY rank ASC

Hopefully this helps.

Cheers,

Branden
