Quickfilter on EPIC assignee

[Martin König]

Hi All

The Epics are assigned to different team members. I'd like to define a quickfilter which shows all stories of the epics a certain user is assigned too.

When I enter the filter criteria in the JQL text field I can set the assignee filter but it filters the assignee against the assignee of the stories. I'd like to set the filter for the Epic assignee.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks, Martin

Hi All

I'd like to simplify my question:

• John is assigned to Epic "A", "B", "Q".
• Epic "A" has stories John is assigned to.
• Epic "B" has stories nobody or someone else is assigned to.
• Epic "Q" hast stories John is assigned to and stories someone else is assigned to.

I'm looking for a Quickfilter JQL showing all stories linked to Epics where the "Epic assigned user" is John. I can list the Epics "A", "B" and "Q" in the quickfilter jql but I'd like to prevent having to change the quickfilter everytime an new epic has been added or the epic assignee has changed.

Thanks so much for all your help.

Hi @Martin König

Guess the below setup would work,

1. Go to board config->swimlanes tab->set it to Epic
2. In Board config go to quick filters->set jql as assignee = "john"(jira user name)

Hi @kavi shree

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it doesn't work. The stories not assigned to the user does not show. I documented my settings below. Would yo be able to help me with a suggestion?

Thanks a lot

Martin

Swimlines set to epics

Filter of board set to project only

Result not as expected

1. Epic is assigned to Ken
2. Epic has 3 stories
3. Quickfilter shows assignee filter
4. Setting the filter on the board
5. Shows only 2 of the 3. GL-54 is assigned to nobody.

Is the third story is in active sprint?

[kavi shree]

Expand the Epics tab.You can see the epic(GL-51) and issue count as 3.

One of the stories should be in active sprint that is why we have only 2 stories in the backlog list.

And i thing to make sure,Epics are only visible in the left panel not in backlogs.

Hi @kavi shree

Thanks so much that you take your time to help me to fix this.

The Epic counter is on 3. But I can see only 2 stories, those are the ones who have the user assigned.

That is really strange. Thanks again for your feedback.

@Martin König

The other one issue that comes under the epic should be in any active sprint active sprint.Check the missed out issue's agile detail.

@kavi shree

As you can see there are only two sprints and they are empty (0 issues). The GL-51 isn't assigned to any sprint. This is really strange?! It applies to all other ~30 Stories.

Hi @Martin König

Check the filter that you are using for the board

if the filter is only retrieving story issue type alone.

Hi @kavi shree

Thanks for your reply. The filter is only restricted to the project. Type shows "All".

How does this have an affect on whether the assignee criteria in the quickfilter is applied to the Epic assignee or the story assignee?

Thanks a lot for your help.
