Exclude Story Issue Type from Kanban?

[Bethany Holt]

One of our project leads wants to exclude stories from their kanban board to make it "cleaner".  They still want to see stories in the backlog and any dashboards.  Is this possible?

[Ignacio Pulgar · Accepted solution]

A Quick Filter with this JQL can be helpful:

type != Story

Alternatively, the board's filter can be changed like this:

project=KEY AND (type=Story AND status != <STATUS-MAPPED-TO-BACKLOG> OR type != Story) ORDER BY rank ASC

Hello @Bethany Holt 

A board is just a view on the issues being fetched by the underlying JQL filter, hence if you change the JQL filter query as suggested by @Ignacio Pulgar  then you can easily exclude stories from the Kanban board.

Thanks @Tarun Sapra and @Ignacio Pulgar !  Is it true there is no way to do this in Next Gen projects (there's no Board Settings option)?

Hello @Bethany Holt 

Yes, you are correct, there is currently no way to do this in next-gen project as you can't choose the board filter in the next-gen projects.

Here's the open ticket about it

Ok, thank you so much!
