Stories of defined epics should not appear in the backlog. How can this be done?

[Marcel Felder]

Hi everybody, I've got some epics with many stories which should not appear in the backlog. These stories will be implemented in a few months. This would make the backlog clearer for me. Does anybody can help me to configure those epics?

Hi @Marcel Felder,

I think these Epic and stories can be tagged with label,then set the filter conditions to exclude them.

Hello,

If you go to the board configuration, you will see the filter, which is defined for the board. This filter selects issues for the board. Change the filter so, that the filter does not select stories.

If you want to hide these stories temporarily, then you can create a quick filter. You can read more about quick filters here:
