kanban board clear done tasks after 72 hours

Ray DR April 15, 2016

I would like to know the correct method for removing cards marked as "Done" after 72 consecutive hours of being Done. In other words once an item is marked Done I want the counter to begin and if it is still Done after 72 hours I don't want to see it on the board anymore.

Is that possible with a filter?

Well, if it's not on the board, you won't see it in the reports... If that's not important you could add this to the board (sub) filter:

... AND status changed TO "<Whatever is mapped to your Done column>" AFTER startOfDay(-72h)

I can think of a couple of ways to achieve this:

  • Create something that will update issues to label it as "Done and Aging" (e.g. transition them to a different status and/or update a custom field). In your boards filter, exclude issues with this status or fields.
  • Update your board so that it will now show Issues without updates witin 72hours (Project = ABC and updated = startOfDay(-3). Caveat is all the issues will be affected, not just the done column.

Thanks for the quick response!
I don't see the startOfDay option.

nevermind - I see it. 

What if I did this:
project = ABC AND (status != Done AND updated = startOfDay(-3)) ORDER BY Rank ASC
