Configure Swimlanes in a Team Managed Project

[Eliot Martin]

I have a board on a Team Managed project that groups swimlanes by Epics.

Up until very recently it was possible to change the order these swimlanes appeared by dragging the Epics around in the Epics panel in the Backlog.

Then Atlassian changed it so that was no longer the case.

Instead, I had to use the TimeLine view and order my Epics there.  Any changes to the order in the Timeline were echoed on the board.

Then Atlassian changed it so that was no longer the case.

Now it appears the ability to configure the order of swimlanes on a board in a Team Managed project has been removed completely.

Is this the case, or has the function moved it somewhere else?

(Atlassian product managers are psychopaths for thinking this kind of arbitrary change makes for good user experience.  I am reaching my threshold with Atlassian's nonsense!)

Hi @Eliot Martin 

You can still do this in a team-managed project by drag and drop of the Epic up/down in the Backlog panel if you have the Epic panel enabled in the View settings.

You are correct @Dave Mathijs 

However, I have DONE epics on my board that I want to include in the re-order, but the Epics panel doesn't expose Epics with this status anymore (Atlassian removed them).

[Dave Mathijs]

Correct: Epic Status (not related to the actual status) is now obsolete. If the Epic has a resolution set/has a 'Done' status category, it will no longer show in the Backlog Epic panel.

But annoyingly they stay on the board for an indeterminate period of time (something that I seem unable to configure).

The fact that they are not impacted by the swimlane re-order in the Epics panel is frustrating.
