How to show all JIRA stories in Kanban based on epic name?

[Krishnamurthy KA]

I have the below filter query for my kanban board.

project = Test AND "Epic Link" != EMPTY AND "Scrum Board[Dropdown]" = "Test Scrum" AND reporter in (60f15276081fcd007fdfdd4151) ORDER BY Rank ASC

The issue is that I need to filter the stories based on the "Epic Name". When I do that, the Kanban automatically shows only epics instead of stories. What is the way to show all stories based on epic name or is it like I need to filter based on the field at the story level?

Hi I'd like an Epic-Story view similar to Story-Subtask view, and not with Epics as swimlanes.

As a Product Owner handling multiple epics in a project

I want a Kanban Board / Dashboard to show Epics based on status, and Stories underneath each Epic

So that I can track progress of Epics and stories within each epic, in a single view.

Hi @Krishnamurthy KA,

Welcome to the Community!

If you don't need the Epics to be cards you can move along the board.  You can set Epics as the Swimlanes in the board configuration.

That will display everything on the board by collapsible sections that are titled with each of the epics that are in your board query.

I hope that helps!

Hi Jimmy,

I tried to choose Epics under Swimlanes and now it is not showing anything.

It shows 38 under "Ready for Development" but doesn't show the stories.

Wait... that's my fault for not interpreting your board query properly.  You are not including the project epics as a part of the query and therefore they can't be displayed on the board.  If you adjust your board filter to include your project epics, you should be able to see the epics as the swimlanes.

Sorry about that!

Hi Jimmy,

Yes I got it but does it not work when I use Epic Name ~ Test? Do I need to use Epic Link in query?

[Jimmy Seddon]

Epic link would simply guarantee you only have issues that are a part of epics but it will also exclude epics as they cannot have an epic link.  I would experiment with the query to see what gives you the results you are looking for.
