Why are my issues not showing up on my newly created Kanban board from a filter?

[Danno]

I seem to have forgotten something about creating Kanban boards in projects. I was working in my sandbox where I created a filter which returns my results as expected. I created a board from a filter and applied the filter. None of the issues show up on the Kanban board. All of the columns have a mapped Status. I am the Org and Site Admin and have checked permissions. I have no idea what is wrong. I thought it was sandbox related so I repeated the process in our live environment and got the same results. No issues on the newly created board.

Update: I was unaware that when you create a new board from a filter, it appears that Jira decides to add its own sub-filter which was causing the issue. Would someone from Atlassian or somebody who knows why they did this please explain it to me? Intuitively (to me at least) I would expect my board to use the filter I specified and not add to it without asking me if I would like to do so.

I will leave this unanswered for a while to gather anybody else's input for the good of the whole.

For as far back as the 201x's in the Server/DC version of Jira Kanban boards always came with a subquery added by default, to screen out the issues with a Fix Version value of a version that has been Released.

The same exists in Jira Cloud kanban boards.

If that is the sub-filter to which you are referring, that is not new functionality.

With Kanban boards one of the methods to "clear" the Done column is to create a version for the issues therein and Release that version. Hence the design to hide  issues in a Released version.

Beyond that I can't offer insights into why they decided to implement that functionality for clearing done and hiding "released" issues.

@Trudy Claspill thank you for responding with the historical info. but I beg to differ on your statement about the sub-filter having the automatically added:

"fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() OR fixVersion is EMPTY"

not being new functionality in the Cloud.

I've only recently had the pleasure of having to work on DC/Server projects and didn't have to create any new boards there. I don't know when the sub-filter above was added to the Cloud but it certainly wasn't something I remember having to contend with in the past.

I can appreciate the intent to clear the Done column as you described but I don't see the use if you are not doing software development with version releases or control, it doesn't make sense to have it. The Done column in Cloud clears old completed tickets automatically without it. The sub-filter hid everything in my case.

The automated addition of the subfilter to Kanban boards for Company Managed projects and boards created from saved filters has been present since I started working daily with Jira Cloud in 2022.
