How do I create a JQL Query so that I can filter my board to group by Epics across all Sprints?

Patrick Gallardo March 29, 2019

On my board I have 3 different Sprints, what is the JQL I should use to create a filter that only shows User Stories assigned to one particular Epic? Let me share my objective. I have a Sprint 1, Sprint 2, and backlog. All the user stories on my board have 1 of 3 Epics: "iOS", "Android", or "XPlatform". I want to be able to hit a filter that will only show me those user stories that have the Epic "Android" for example. Thanks in advance! I have no clue how to use JQL.

Try

"Epic Link" = {Epic ID}  (ex. "Epic Link" = ANDR-93)

If you type the name of the Epic into a search query, it should automatically fill in Epic ID.

Does that filter what you want?

Hi Zachary, and thank you! I had to make one minor tweak but that worked. Instead of the Epic Name itself (e.g. Android) I had to replace it with the actual Epic Number that was assigned to it when I created it. 

 

Cheers!
