How to hide subtasks that belong to a User Story?

Markus March 28, 2018

We want to create a board for our Sprints and a Board for everything else. We managed with the help of filters to hide User-Stories and Stories from the second board but the Sub-Tasks of Stories and User Stories still show up.

What would the JQL look like to hide ONLY sub-tasks that belong to a Story or User Story?

Hi Markus,

do you have the Scriptrunner app? If so, you can use this JQL:

issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes() AND issueFunction not in subtasksOf("issuetype in (story, user story)")

With plain Jira, a jql like this is not possible.

Thanks, apparently we dont have this add-on installed. Do you know about any free alternatives?

There are some free JQL - Apps, but I don't know about them:

You have to try.

Thanks it works fine with scriptrunner. I will ask another question regarding a free alternative tough.
