How to add a new Filter under List filter dropdown

[Manoj Kumar]

Hi All,

I have created a new filter and it is shared with the project and I want to show that filter under the List, filter dropdown.

Hi @Manoj Kumar and welcome to the Community!

I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you there ... The list view and saved filters (that you can create and save from the All work view or from Filters > Search work items are different, separate views.

Filters in list view work from the (visual) Filters dropdown where you can click together different criteria, but you can't add other filters in there.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Walter Buggenhout , Thanks for your quick response but the top four filters are custom created, created by a user which are showing in the drop down list. I don't know how they are showing and added. I tried all the possible options but unable to add/show the newly created ones.

Aha, good point @Manoj Kumar. The way to create such filters is to actually click together a set of criteria inside the list view's filter dialog. If you're happy with the set of criteria, you can then click the little blue link Save Filter inside the dialog and that will save the filter right inside the dialog:

So that is indeed possible, but it is not possible to bring in a filter you created from another view.
