Filter

Use filters to curate the list of changes for your release

Issue filter in the staging area

Overview

The panel on the right hand side of the post editing view is called the staging area.

The staging area makes it a breeze to review issues before they get added to the announcement. Issues are sorted by type, so you can easily spot new features, minor improvements, and bug fixes.

Changelog filter settings

The changelog filter settings form the foundation of the filter that determines which issues to include in your changelog.

Access the filter settings in your workspace under ⚙ Settings > Filter.

Jira projects

Your Jira project settings define which issues are included in your changelog. You can choose a single project or include issues from multiple projects in your updates.

To include issues from multiple projects

1. Click the multi-select project dropdown to expand the dropdown list.

2. Review the list of available projects and select the ones that you want to include in your Release Notes.

3. Your selection will be automatically saved.

If a project administrator does not have view permission for a previously added project, the project name will be obfuscated.

Version field

Select which version field to use when filtering by version. The field defaults to the standard "Fix versions", but allows you to specify any custom single or multi-version field.

Filter

Using the filter in a post allows you to narrow down the list of Jira work items to include in your post. The basic filter provides the following filter options

Basic filter options

Filter	Description
Done since	Include issues moved into the done status category since a specific date. This filter uses the statusCategoryChangedDate to determine the date.
Version	Include issues with a specific version.
Label	Include issues with a specific label.
Issue type	Include specific types of issues.
Jira filter	Add a Jira filter. See below for details.

Jira filter

To access more powerful filtering capabilities, you can add a Jira filter to narrow down the list of issues. Using JQL and Jira's advanced filtering capabilities, Jira filters give you the ability to filter based on any available fields.
