Can I add param to a filter?

Idith Eden

I have created a dashboard using several filters (about 9 filters for different views)
All includes in the filter Sprint = "XX". This is also the field that needs to be adjusted from time to time.
Since the filter is controlled and can be modified only by the user created it, and modifying 9 filters can be annoying, I was wondering if there is a way to use in search a param, which can hold for example sprint value, and once updated it actually impact all 9 filters?

For example:

Instead of using the current filter: Sprint = 164 AND issuetype in (Bug, "Customer Support Bug") AND (status changed to (testing)) 
Use:  Sprint = $Current_Sprint AND issuetype in (Bug, "Customer Support Bug") AND (status changed to (testing))
where Current_Sprint = 164

Is that achievable?

Hi @Idith Eden,

There's no such thing as a parameter you can use, but JQL has a couple of functions you can use to accomplish your goal:

Sprint in openSprints()

returns what you describe: your current sprint(s).

For reference, there's also these functions:

Sprint in closedSprints()
Sprint in futureSprints()

The first one will search for issues that are assigned to sprints that have been completed. The latter will search for issues that are assigned to a sprint that hasn't been started yet.
