Cannot filter by votes?

[Tom Haapanen]

Really? Do I need to manually tag each item that was voted on so that I can reduce the number of ideas on the list?

We currently have 170 ideas entered and 72 of them have votes in the current round.

Hi @Tom Haapanen 

Filtering by a vote field is not possible yet.  Please see this other question for some work-arounds: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Product-Discovery/Filter-by-votes/m-p/2386546

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks @Bill Sheboy .

Hi @Tom Haapanen ,

As already mentioned, it's not possible to filter by votes at this time. We'll get some sort of feature request entered with engineering.

But you can at least sort this field in ascending or descending order - so hopefully that somewhat helps:

Hello Tom. I haven't tested myself, but I think that William Sheboy answer here is interesting.

How about a work-around?

• Add a custom Number field: Last Vote Count
• Add an automation rule to...
• Trigger on issue edit
• Check condition of issue.voters.size does not equal the custom field, Last Vote Count
• Then do your actions, and update the Last Vote Count

Maybe with a little tweak of this automation, or a formula field based on votes, you can change a custom field that can classify ideas by some range of vote count. Use this classification as the grouping field in a view.

It's good as far as workarounds go. Hope to see some improvement from Atlassian to remove the need to resort to workarounds.
