Use filters to track stories across projects

[KXM4998]

I need to be able to show the backlog of stories across 4 different projects on the board of the master project. The stories that I need to track are all assigned the same EPIC. I've tried to use filters based on project and epic but that isn't working. Any suggestions?

Hello @KXM4998 

Please share with us the filter (or multiple filters) that you have tried and let us know how each one did not meet your requirements? What issues were missing? Were there issues included that should have been excluded?

Hi! I've tried a variety of these. 

project = "HDI BAU (IOS & SF)" AND "Epic Link" = HLS-1368

and I also have this one...

project in ("HS L2 Support") AND "Epic Link" = HLS-1368

The master project is HS L2 Support and the common epic is HLS-1368. The ones within the master project are showing up; it's the ones in the project outside of the master project but have the same common epic that are not appearing. I also have other projects I need pulled in with the common epic but I'm trying to get this one to work first.

When you create a filter with an AND operator you will get only other issues that match all the condition - the issues must be a child of HLS-1368 AND they must be in the project(s) you specify.

If you want to get all the child issues of the Epic, use only the Epic Link condition.

If you plan to use the filter for a Scrum board though you will have to include a condition to specify the projects in which you expect the child issues to exist, thus:

projects in (<comma separated list of projects>) AND "Epic Link" = HLS-1368

I figured it out. I didn't realize you had to attach the filter to the board before you can create the individual filters with the quick buttons.
