Jira-Agile Plugin not showing epic option in base swimlanes drop down

[Pramod Kutty]

While configuring the swimlanes for kanban board . There is no option to choose epic from the drop down for base swimlanes . Is there some configuration to enable this option

Hi Pramod,

According to Configuring Swimlanes, Epics swimlane is available to Scrum Boards only hence there's no direct configuration for it. There's a workaround, though, which is to base swimlanes on queries and create different queries to point to different epics, respectively:

I know this is quite inconvenient and time-consuming if you have lots of epics but, to be honest, it's the only way I can think of so far.

Cheers,

Andy
