Kanban Board: Components as Swimlanes

Miriam Grundig

Dear All,

I feel like it is not possible to create swimlanes per component? Although I'd think that would be very useful?
Is it possible to create swimlane queries? Or do I need to filter with the Query functionality?

Thanks,
Miriam

Hello @Miriam Grundig and welcome to Community!

It is indeed possible to create swimlanes by components:

Let me know if this helps!

Hi Miriam,

Can't you do it out of the box? I can't check it right now but I remember using a customized JQL for swimlanes. Also, I remember using this add-on in some customer that allows you to do anything you need in a board,

Hi @[deleted],

Thanks for the answer. Manon made me aware it can be done via Swimlanes on Queries...
We try to avoid using plugins wherever possible to keep our jira clean and updateable.

Thx,
Miriam

consider this will only show your issue in ONE swimlane line, whereas issues can have multiple components.

Hi all.

I tried the same thing to display my different issues but where i return in my kanban board i didn't have my swimlanes

can u help me please?

Thanks a lot

Hi @lobna.lahmar,

Do you have any issues with component Marketo or BFO? The swimlanes won't show up unless they contain issues.

Best,

yes , i created a story with the name [bfo]test and i havn't my swimlane

Manon Soubies-Camy

Is "BFO" also in the Component field? If it's only in your issue summary, it won't work - you need to have Component = BFO for the swimlane to work. You can send us a screenshot of your issue if it's easier

Very helpful! Thanks!

Isn't there a way to use all Components as swimlanes, just like with Epics?

I think it's very annoying to have to create a new query-based swimlane for every new Component.

Héctor Castillo_fga0je

Exactly, that behavior must be a default like Epics not create one by one jql!

Thijs Daniels

The thing is that whereas an issue can belong to only 1 epic, an issue can have multiple components, which means that either

the issue will appear in only one of the swimlanes it should appear in, which is definitely confusing
or Atlassian needs to make some new developments so that the issue can appear in multiple swimlanes at the same time
or enabling components as swimlanes should disable to option to assign multiple components to one issue.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for this becoming a standard option, I'm just saying that it's a tricky field to base swimlanes on.
