Change default "30 Days" Exclusion Rule in Plan Settings

John DeLorenzo March 5, 2025

In Jira Roadmaps, can the default setting for number of days be changed, from 30, for "Enter the number of days after issues marked as Done will stop showing in the plan" (PLAN SETTINGS > EXCLUSION RULES).

The concern raised by our technical teams when they lost visibility on completed Epics in a quarterly roadmap since the default period of time for an Epic to be visible after completion is only 30 days.

We can manually update this during the creation of new roadmaps but it would be nice if we were able to update the default to 180. Thanks

 

UPDATE: @Elaine Boden @Max Thompson @marius.alexander  

As part of the recent update the path has changed somewhat - just navigate as follows: 

PLAN SETTINGS > WORK IN YOUR PLAN > REMOVED WORK ITEMS

Hey John,

 

Unfortunately, we don't have a way to change the default value for all plans. It has to be updated for each plan under plan settings > exclusion rules as you stated already.

Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying, Karan, appreciate it.

@Karan Sachdev is there a way to change the status being removed? For example, instead of 'Done,' we could instead have 'Accepted' be removed after 30 days?

Hey @Derek Evans

 

Yes, you can choose the status to be removed under Plan Settings > Exclusion Rules.

Thanks!

how do you set the days to exclude limit in the new look of jira cloud.   The exclusion page has gone away and the page thats left doesnt state the days its set to now.

I have the same issue as Elaine. It looks like the ability to modify the default exclusion date is missing.
