Add Filter Category in Backlog Board

[Sebastian Costas]

I would like to add a Filter category to be able to select different status as filters. I don't want to add it inside Quick Filters because I would need to create every different combination, like if I want to see To Review, Ready and Done. And then remove Done from the Filter, etc. The same way I can see version, epic, label and type.

Hi @Sebastian Costas ,

Yes, as noted, this functionality is not available natively in Jira. 

Here's one solution that's free to get started:

You can import your nested Jira data into Visor's spreadsheet and add your own set of filters from dropdown selections (e.g., status, assignee, t-shirt size, etc). Visor lets you create views with different filters set and also allows you to push changes back to Jira easily: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226209/visor-flexible-spreadsheet-for-jira-roadmapping-bulk-edits?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

I hope that helps!

Hi @Sebastian Costas 

Not natively - but why would you need this, when the Statuses are represented by columns on the board?

If there's more than one Status per column - couldn't you just split them into their own columns?

In the Active Sprint I see them in columns, but in the Backlog report I don't, it's the only report that shows me the sum of story points by status.

Hi @Sebastian Costas , welcome to the community.

Currently, this is not an available feature OOTB. I believe that there are third-party apps that can provide the dynamic drop down filtering..

Thanks I would look for one of those third-party apps
