How to filter epics on the Kanban board in a team managed project

[Kristel]

Hello,

I'm experimenting with a team managed project and I would like to be able to filter epics on its Kanban board. But after setting up and using a custom filter, the board does not show the epics which match the filter.

Is it even possible to set up custom filters for epics in a team managed project? And if yes, what should I do differently?

My steps:

1. The epics have a custom dropdown field named 'Strategy'

2. I've defined a custom filter to select epics with this specific Strategy. 

3. When I select no filter I see all epics (currently only 2). This is as expected.

4. But when I select the custom filter, it does not show the epic which I expect to match the filter.

I hope someone can help me out here.

Cheers,

Kristel

Can you find the Epics if you search  in JIRA using your JQL?

Hadn't yet thought about verifying the JQL like that, so thanks for the tip.

Tried it out just now and yes, the JQL produces the expected results in the search.

I am thinking you need to remove [dropdown] - so your JQL should be "Strategy" = "2023 Q1 - Findability"

Gave that a try, but still no luck.
