How to show only the filtered epic in Scrum board?

Question

I have a board filtered with certain epics. I'd like to view only the epics I used in filter query instead of all the epics from project in backlog view.

e..g project = ABC AND ("Epic Link" = ABC-1 OR "Epic Link" = ABC-2 OR "Epic Link" = ABC-3) OR KEY = ABC-1 OR KEY = ABC-2 OR KEY = ABC-3 ORDER BY Rank ASC

Hmm, interesting, I just tried it, and when I change the filter, I will only see the epics related to that issues.

Maybe you can have a look here, this is not the same but something similar to your problem. There is a workaround in the comments.

If you think, this would help you, I suggest to vote for that issue.

Thanks @Bastian Stehmann for your reply. I did that, however I could still see all the epics being listed, instead of just the filtered epics. Please note, issues are correctly filtered out, it's just the epics I want to get rid of the unwanted ones from the board.

Hi @Balaji Kaliappan,

welcome to the community.

If you save this query as filter and go to your Board, then click on "Board" on the top right corner and choose "Configure Board".

On the "General" Tab, you can change then the Filter Query to the filter you just created. Then only the issues selected by that query should show up on the Board and the Backlog.
