New Expedite row added in Kanban

[Francois Rheaume]

An Expedite row has suddenly appeared in Kanban, along with an "everything else' column.

It is not made by any of our users.

What can it be ?

Thanks

Hi Francois,

The Expedite swimlane will appear anytime there is an issue that has a value of Expedite for the priority. 

You can remove that swimlane if you want by going to Board Settings > Swimlanes and just delete the swimlane.

Thank you John

I am having issues with the expedite query as it is affecting my other swimlane queries.  I read that you can delete it but that is not possible.  Do you have any ideas?

[John Funk]

Hi Shari,

What kind of problems are you having? And why can't you delete it? What error are you getting? 

And as a side note, it is always best to Create a new question so more people with see it and can respond to it.  :-)

Am I understanding correctly that Atlassian released a Jira cloud software version, that created an Expedited swimlane (JQL priority = Critical), without a choice for the user if they wanted it or not?

So now I have to go clean my boards, removing this swimlane if I don't want it?

[John Funk]

That is the default, yes.

Hello @Francois Rheaume welcome to the community.

The expedite swim line comes by default in new boards and it will show there the issues with the highest priority. You could configure the board to change that of you are the board administrator.

Thank you Hernan, for some reason it only showed up today, but anyway now it is all good.

It would be great if anyone could check this bug https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-16543 related to these new filters. It's closed but the issue is still there and custom swimlanes are unusable due to this bug.
