Board filter: Hide issues when epic is not in feature-team-ready state

[Chris Lange]

I am wondering if it's possible to filter issues off the backlog (scrum board) if the linked epic is still in a state where it's not ready for the feature team. 

My concern is that the unfiltered backlog view will become a huge mess because there's no clear separation between feature-team-ready stuff and stuff which need to be defined by the PM team first. 

How would you tackle this problem in the Jira cloud version?

thanks in advance

Your suggestions led me in the right direction. Thanks!

For some reason the "not in" results in an error. Only "in" is working right now. In addition some of the issues don't have an epic. 

Our solution ended up like this:

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("project = KEY and status not in (new)") OR (project = KEY and "Epic Link" is empty)

There might be room for improvements in the future but for now we can give it a try. Thanks to ScriptRunner :D

Hello @Chris Lange

You can try script runner as mentioned by Krisz as well. I would use the method "issuesInEpic:"

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/jql-functions.html#_issuesinepics

For removing stories from board which are connected to epic in status "open"

"your current query" AND issueFunction not in issuesInEpics("status = open")

Hi there,

you can try Scriptrunner's issueFunction: https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GRV/pages/33030163/Scripted+JQL+Functions#ScriptedJQLFunctions-linkedIssuesOf(Subquery,linkname)

I mean if you have Scriptrunner.

Unfortunately you can't do this in standard Jira. I found another thread about it: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Questions/JQL-check-if-issue-s-epic-meets-condition/qaq-p/308812

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
