How to add a custom name in "Group By" field to create swim lanes in next-gen-gen project?

[JJ DeBenning]

Hi all,

I've done some research on this site and outside as well to know if we can "Group By" our issues in our workflow (i.e. either using a kanban or Sprint board). I very well could have overlooked the posts out there; however, I'm not seeing anything yet that answers this question, so I thought I would put it out there. An example would be to create "Group By" categories like "Expedite", "Standard", and or "Fixed Date"? Currently working on Atlassian cloud "Next-gen Project" app

Cheers,

Hi @JJ DeBenning  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For Next-Gen projects, there are only the built-in groupings at this time, and not JQL-based swimlanes to group by Classes of Service, as in your example.  There is a suggestion to add this feature, and you may watch/vote for it here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17580

Classic projects, and their boards, have this feature to allow more configurable swimlanes.

Best regards,

Bill

Hi @JJ DeBenning 

Swimlanes based on JQL (or Issue navigator) will return list of issues. For Group by try using gadgets in the reports.

Hi Ravi,

Thank you for the quick response, very much appreciated!

I haven't used JQL in a while so I'm a little rusty here. Would you be able to share an example of your approach above? Either using a JQL query and or using a specific gadget? Or if you can point me to a good example that would work as well.

Thanks again Ravi!

Cheers,
