JIRA Issue Type task not displayed in backlog OR active sprint

DarkKnightess

Hi all,

Recently we started creating tasks alongwith user story to be worked on in our sprint.

However, though the Stories and their sub-tasks are showing up in the active sprint, I do not see the Tasks being displayed anywhere unless I go to All Issues and try to search for it there. Can anyone please guide how to have the tasks also show up on my active sprint or backlog.

Below is the filter that is set for my board.

project = FFF AND issuetype in (subTaskIssueTypes(), Epic, Story) ORDER BY Rank ASC

Hello @DarkKnightess

In your filter you have to add the Task issueType in the JQL query and only then Tasks will appear on your backlog. Change your filter to

project = FFF AND issuetype in (subTaskIssueTypes(), Task, Epic, Story) ORDER BY Rank A

You won't see sub-tasks in the backlog, as they're not useful in planning your sprints.

They will appear on the board when you have an active sprint, and they should appear when you go to "all issues". What do you mean by "go to all issues and try to search for it"? All issues should show you everything in the project, and doesn't have a search, so I'm not sure what you mean there.

Hi Nic,

not talking about sub tasks.

I am referring to the Issue Type "Task".

Ok, I assume that's not set as a sub-task type then.

In that case, you just need to alter your filter so that it does not exclude them as it does now.

Or better yet...

if you aren’t specifically trying to exclude issue types then simplify to...

project =FFF

Thanks Tarun and Jack. That helps.

None of these solutions worked for me. Here is my case. I have a new issues type labeled "Code Development" and being of "task" type. It is not a "sub-task". The issues created as any type but "Code Development" are visible in the Backlog and can be selected for Sprints. Each and every time a task is created as "Code Development" it disappears from the Backlog, cannot be selected for Sprint and is visible only in "All issues".

Any modification of the board filter as suggested here did not worked. The issues of type "Code Development" are never shown in the Backlog.

I really need good help with this. Thanks!

Hi there - was this ever resolved? I have the same exact problem, and my filter does nothing but filter on the project. For whatever reason, when the issue type Task goes from Open to In Progress, it completely disappears from our backlog!
