Can you add custom quick filter to Jira "next-gen" board?

[Kristen Butler]

My issues have a checkbox attribute that I was hoping to use as a filter in a Kanban board - searching around I've seen references to "Quick Filter" in the board configuration section, but can't see the option - is this not a "next-gen" feature? I was hoping to setup a quick filter that points to the attribute, to then filter issues.

I'm the Jira admin and have all privileges I think I'd need.

I can see the this is not possible: noticed that Quick Filters are a classic feature, i.e. "Company-managed software" whereas I'm using a "Team-managed software", and actually looks similar to custom filters... so not what I want either.

Hi @Kristen Butler,

As per this community article, this should be possible.

Hope this helps!

Thanks @Walter Buggenhout - I've just reached the same conclusion. 

I was hoping that I could specify an attribute to filter on, clicking the filter would then give a drop down with the options behind attribute - this isn't functionality that Jira has (maybe one day...)
