Configuring Swim Lanes based on EPIC label but also displaying subtasks

[keith kennedy]

Hey All,

Hoping you can help me find a solution. My employer won't buy any plugins so I'm hoping for a clever way to get the view I need.

We recently switched from a Scrum board to a Kanban board, we are focusing on the batches of work that we bring across our boards rather than the individual subtasks that make them up (coding, testing etc). 

We are also using "Classes Of Service", namely "Expedite,  Fixed Date, Standard, Intangible". These labels are set an an Epic level, this was easy to display on our Kanban board through configured swim lanes as follows:

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("labels in (Expedite)") or labels in (Expedite)

ATM we only view Stories so the above works fine, but the team want to see the subtasks on the Kanban board directly, if we click on the ticket the subtasks are listed in the right pane but this isn't great for a stand up, the team would find it easier to see what status each individual subtask is in on the Kanban board, "In Development", "In Review" etc.

However, as soon as I change my board sub-filter to allow subtasktypes() in, my swim lanes disappear, I imagine because the subtasks are not directly associated with the labels as per the grandparent (EPIC). Is there any way I can inherit this label down so that it can make my swim lanes work again?

Thanks.
