For a Kanban board, how to I display subtasks on the Kanban view, but not backlog view?

We have a Kanban team that is using sub-tasks.  We want these to show in our Kanban view, but NOT in the backlog view. 

Within the Kanban view, we can set the swimlanes to be by issue, and that keeps things manageable.

However, having them in the To Do space on the backlog view is hiding the actual issues / work we need to organize.

Does anyone have a way to keep the sub-tasks from showing in the backlog while still available in the dev's Kanban view?  I've only been able to get it to be an all or nothing situation.  For the short term, I have a quick filter for the team, but would love a better overall solution.

Hello @Christi Heatherly 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You can add a Quick/Custom Filter to your board to hide the subtasks. You could activate the filter when viewing the Backlog, and deactivate the filter when viewing the board.

Hello, Good day. As we active backlog in Kanban board by adding a status to the backlog. If we have the sub-task in the given status, then it will show up in backlog, applying kanban board  sub-filter will hide subtask from board as well. Thanks
