Swimlines based on 'objective' issue type

[Anna Berus]

Hi fellow Jira users,

Wondering if anyone could help me out with the below challenge.

I added additional issue type (parent) above Epic in Jira that called 'Objectives'.

Would love to now have swimlines on Kanban board based on this issue type ('Objectives') rather than epics, stories, etc. Anyone able to help with JQL to customize my board accordingly (if possible at all).

You cannot do it without a plugin. You can vote for this to be in the base.

You might be able to do it with j tricks plugin hasSubtasks function.

I would try using the function with the NOT operator.

A possible solution: https://wiki.almworks.com/display/structure/S-JQL+Cookbook

but would need the Structure plugin

try 

issueLinkType not in (jira_subtask_outward)

works for me, no plugins

Solution without a plugin.

Use below query as a Quick Filter from the Board Configuration.

issueFunction not in hasSubtasks() AND issuetype != Sub-task

It will sort out every story which has No or Zero sub-tasks.

issueFunction functionality is from a plugin & not part of standard JIRA
