It is possible to group by on a board by a Custom field by choice?

I am trying to visualize my task by a custom field created on my organization?

Hi @Eva Maria Valero 

Not sure if what you are trying to do is to configure Jira board? if so please see this page: Configure a company-managed board

Hi @Eva Maria Valero,

Not if your project is team managed. In those projects, you are confined to the predefined options to group by: assignee, epic or subtask.

In a company managed project's board, you can define swimlanes to achieve the same result. While you cannot just select the custom field you have set up dynamically, you can create a separate swimlane for each value from your custom field using a JQL filter. Suppose your custom field would represent a department, you could set up  swimlanes like this:

• Navigate to your board connfiguration
• Select the swimlanes tab
• As method for your swimlanes select queries
• Define a query for each department (e.g. Department = "HR", Department = "Finance", ...

Hope this helps!
