quick filter to collapse/expand swimlane

[Alok Juneja]

Hi,

I am wondering about the JQL query to make a quick filter where I can collapse or expand swimlanes. This quick filter appears like other filters. I am already aware of shortcut keyboard key to expand/collapse swimlane.

Quick filters help you drill-down into issue data by hiding things so you can focus on a particular part of your list of issues.

They have nothing to do with swimlane definitions directly, and certainly nothing to do with expanding/contracting them.

The closest you could get is to define a quick filter that excludes a specific swimlane, which would then make that lane appear empty.

Quick filters are for narrowing down the list shown on the board, not controlling swimlane usage.

You could do something like it by using a quickfilter that is the exact opposite of a swimlane definition, so that when you enable the quickfilter, the board hides all the issues in the swimlane.  This wouldn't expand/contract the swimlane though, it would hide the whole thing.

How did you solve this?

They did not.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- Thanks for the prompt reply. Considering you suggestion, I am wondering what JQL query keyword or query will exclude specific swimlane?

! basically.  There is no "swimlane" field, so you have to replicate the filters in use.

Look at the query that generates the swimlane, and use the same filter as the quick filter, but with ! in front to invert it.

I got it. Thanks
