Currently, the swimlane for This Month shows tickets that have a due date in future months.
Can I adjust the JQL for the Future swimlane to hold the tickets that are beyond the next month + duedate empty?
Thank you!
Hello @Youmna Alomari
Can I adjust the JQL for the Future swimlane to hold the tickets that are beyond the next month + duedate empty?
The JQL to satisfy that requirement would be:
duedate is empty or duedate >= startOfMonth(+2)
If the current month is June then startOfMonth() = June 1
If the current month is June then startOfMonth(+1) = July 1
If the current month is June then startOfMonth(+2) = August 1

Hello @Youmna Alomari
I just want to add my opinion about your existing swimlanes:
duedate <= endofweek()
: This will take all tickets due in the past, including last week. it shoul be duedate >= startofweek() and duedate <= endofweek()duedate >= endofweek(+1)
: This will take all tickets due from June 23rd, 2026 onwards. It doesn't make sense. It shoul be duedate >= startofmonth() and duedate <= endofmonth()duedate <= endofweek(+1)
: This will take all tickets due in the past, including this week. it shoul be : duedate >= startofweek(+1) and duedate <= endofweek(+1)You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
Thank you @Duc Thang TRAN !
This was set up by a former employee. I'm learning here!
In that case, tickets that were completed will move to the Done column. Thank you!

So, if I change my swimlane settings to what you have provided, will the tickets that were not completed in that specific week move to the Backlog column?

Also, if I wanted to add Next Month swimlane, would that be like: duedate >= startofmonth(+1) and duedate <= endofmonth(+1) ??

Hello @Youmna Alomari
it correcte your jql for next month , and for all issues that don't meet your JQL due date, you will find them in the "Everything else" lane.
and for your last question :
A swimlane is a horizontal categorization of issues, not for completed or uncompleted issues. Here a exemple
If you don't see few completed issue ,your need control your configuration of the board to show completed issues.

Hi @Duc Thang TRAN,
Going back to this post.
If I wanted to add additional Swimlane for "Past Due" tickets, How would that look like?
Past-due Jira tickets currently default to moving to the swim lane for "This Month" - this effectively moves them below tickets in the swim lane for due "This Week." We want to make sure any past due tickets show at the very top of all Jira boards.
Thank you,
Youmna

Hello @Youmna Alomari
If you want a swimlane for Past Due the query would be:
duedate is not empty and duedate < now()
And that swimlane would need to be at the top of your list of swimlanes, if you want the things that were due earlier this week to not show up in the This Week lane.
