Lost backlog filtering

[rgsilva-aegro]

Hi!

I've mistakenly cleared the backlog filter and now it shows all the tasks, include done ones. How do I restore it to its original view? Pretty sure it was a default backlog view filtering, as I don't remember changing anything in the past.

Nevermind, the admin managed to fix the issue by writing a new filter query and applying it to the board. For our case, it was the following:

project = [project] AND (Sprint in openSprints() OR status != RELEASED AND status != Done) ORDER BY Rank ASC

Thanks nevertheless! Cheers,

Ricardo

@rgsilva-aegro, is this a Next-gen project or Classic? The reason I ask is I saw your same question on Jason's AMA for New Jira.

While I don't use NG projects today except to play around with it, my understanding is that there are no user accessible board filters.

I will assume you have a classic project for my answer here.

Go to Board settings > General and look at the bottom for "kanban board sub-filter". Generally it will be something like this...

fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() OR fixVersion is EMPTY

You can edit the sub-filter to achieve the desired behavior around filtering out Done issues, e.g. after two-weeks.

Hi @Jack Brickey,

I've posted there by mistake. How do I check if it's a next-gen project or classic?

Also, I'm not looking at the kanban interface, but the backlog only (the one used for planning). And I just checked the settings but unfortunately I don't see those options. :(

Any ideas? I want to keep the original filtering but it seems lost somehow.

Checking if NG or Classic - click on project settings and see if "Features" appears in the left sidebar. If so it is NG.

If it doesn't show Features the click on the ellipses in the top right and go to Board settings and click on General then capture the screen and share it here.

This might sound like a really dumb question, but where do I find the project settings?

[Jack Brickey]

if you don't see it as below then you are not an admin and you will need support from your admin on this.

According to the admin, it has no features option.

Here's a screenshot of my board settings:
