JIRA Roadmap => how to filter on "Project category"

[Ionut Sandu]

Hi, when creating a JQL filter in JIRA it seems we can filter over "category".

How to use this filtering in JIRA Roadmap, as neither "Project category" or "category" are not available in the JIRA Plan custom fields when "adding a custom field".

Annoyingly, Advanced Roadmaps does not pick  up "Category" for us to select from.

Maybe one to create a feature request for?

I guess you could automate a workaround (I've not tried it, so I don't know)  - on every issue create or move, set a custom field to the project category.  But that's an automation run for every single issue, and wouldn't help with your existing data.
