How do I stop Epics being counted in Kanban column issue counts?

[Lipika Bundela]

Hi community,

I need a little help, I have a Kanban board with "Base SwimLanes on Epics" option and "Column Constraint Issue Count" set. I'm looking for an option to remove epics from the issue count. Currently, I can see all the issues including the epics as shown in the below image.

Please let me know if removing epics from the issue count is a possibility. I'll really appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

I would just use script runner for querying linked issue

type = epic AND issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("resolution is empty", "blocks") and resolution is empty

This query gives us all unresolved epics which are blocked by unresolved issues

Hi,

you can use function linkFinderForIssues from our add-on Link Finder, eg.:

issue in linkFinderForIssues("project = X", "blocks", "Epic")

where X is the name of your project and Epic is the name of your epic.

More details about this function and many more you can find here.

Can you try 

issue in linkedIssues(issueKey,linkType)

issue key is the Epic Issue ID
