Want to share your Jira Product Discovery roadmap with customers, but keep some items hidden?
Whether an idea is too technical, an internal improvement, or 🤫 secret... every now and then you might want to hide individual tickets on the roadmap. Here is how you do it using custom fields and a little bit of JQL.
Note: This guide assumes that you are using Released to share your JPD roadmap publicly.
1️⃣ Add a custom checkbox field to your Jira Product Discovery project. Let's call it “Hide from public roadmap.
2️⃣ Add a filter in your Released Roadmap using the following JQL: "𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽" = 𝟬 𝗢𝗥 "𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽" 𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗬
3️⃣ Publish 🎉
🎬 Watch the Loom for details.
The JQL filter is quite simple. It checks whether the field “Hide from public roadmap” is not checked (0). Checked would equal 1 instead.
However, Jira Product Discovery does not support a default value for the checkbox custom field. That’s why we have to add a second condition. If a checkbox was never checked, the field value will be EMPTY. Hence we need to check whether the field is 0 or EMPTY.
It sounds more complicated than it is.
And once this is set up. You can show and hide items on your public roadmap straight from JPD.
