Can I hide bugs from the backlog?

[Sarah Jones]

We are using Jira Cloud and we don't want to see the bugs in the backlog, just tasks, I can't seem to see a why to filter these however this article seem to suggest there is a way?

Enable the backlog | Jira Software Cloud | Atlassian Support

Does anyone know how to do this? other than perhaps a Quick Filter,

Thanks

Hi @Sarah Jones ,

please edit your filter board using the following guide https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-filters/

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Wont this also hide them on the Active Sprint Board as well? 

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

Yes, it should. Btw, if you don't want to see bugs in the backlog why you need to view them at sprint side? Complete this sprint and then edit your board filter.

Ciao,

Fabio

Okay, appreciate the assistance! if I edit the filter can I get it to show, tasks and stories and only bugs with severity S1 and S2? tasks and stories don't use severity.

project = X AND "Severity[Dropdown]" in (S1, S2) ORDER BY priority DESC

this only shows me bugs, I need to include all tasks and stories, if I can?

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

project = X AND ("Severity[Dropdown]" in (S1, S2) OR issuetype!="Bug") ORDER BY priority DESC

Thank you so much just had such a mental blocker with this yesterday! appreciate the help

If you are using a CMP project you certainly can. You basically add the following to your board's filter.

AND type != Bug

can you tell me what you see in the bottom left corner of your project screen? Team managed or Company managed?

[Sarah Jones]

Company managed.

OK then you should be good to go to edit your board's filter. With that said it looks like you have a conversation going with Fabio now so no need to duplicate here.
