JQL quick filter: apply filter on Stories but not subtask

[Xavier Pacalet]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a filter quite simple but I'm struggling a lot.

Basically I have a board with Stories and inside each stories subtasks.

I want to apply a filter on the name of the stories to not show some (and not show the subtasks as well).

But for the stores I want, I want the subtasks as well, right now I am able to filter my stories but the subtasks are not shown.

Is there a way to say "show only the subtasks of the stories where the name of the story (parent) match a pattern ?"

I tried the following query:

 (type = Sub-task AND issue in subtasksOf("summary !~ 'Foo'")) or (type = Story and summary !~ "Foo") but I still don't have the subtasks.

Btw: I'm not using any plug-in.

 Thanks.

Hi Xavier,

Are you trying to show these on a board or you just want to see all of them under the list of issues?

[Xavier Pacalet]

Hello,

The quick filter is for my board tab "active sprint". I want a filter to exclude some user stories to have a focus on others.

[Fadoua]

Under Board Configuration can you please send a screenshot from the Columns and Swimlanes? After of course hiding any company/personal information

[Xavier Pacalet]

Hmm yes but how is it related ? The filter I'm trying to create will only be for the Active sprint, is there a link between the filters and the columns I have ?

[Fadoua]

You mentioned that you are unable to see the Subtasks am I right?

[Xavier Pacalet]

Yeah for the user stories which fit my filter above the subtasks are not displayed because they don't fit the filter I guess.

I just need a way to have my filter applied only on user stories and not the subtasks inside.

For my board the swimlane base is story.

[Fadoua]

Ok you have the right info for the Swimlane.
Since you want some of the Stories and Subtaks display on your board and some others don't, you will have to have a field that will be added to your JQL query which will be the one used to bring some of the stories and not others.

 (type = Sub-task AND issue in subtasksOf("summary !~ 'Foo'")) or (type = Story and summary !~ "Foo") but I still don't have the subtasks.

issuetype in (Task, Subtask) and parent in .....

[Xavier Pacalet]

issuetype in (Task, Sub-task) and parent in ("summary !~ 'Foo'")

with that there is an error "The issue key 'summary !~ 'Foo'' for field 'parent' is invalid"

[Fadoua]

I am sending you a screenshot from my instance where "Summary" is not an option I think that's why you are getting the error but again for sure we have different configuration. Just so that you get an idea

[Xavier Pacalet]

I have much less possibilities anyway my filter has to be on the name of the user story, so there is no way at all to do what I want ? :(

[Fadoua]

My possibilities were coming from Adaptavist ScriptRunner. I am sure there will be a way to work around your JQL query.

Sharing the link which I am sure you have, may be some advanced queries using JIRA functions:

[Xavier Pacalet]

Yup I went through all of this and didn't find anything :(

[Fadoua]

Are you using the Adaptavist ScriptRunner?

I really wish I could help you more.

[Xavier Pacalet]

Nope I don't have access to any tool/plugin...
