Troubleshoot invalid or missing filters for a sandbox

Before you start copying data to your Jira sandbox, we check if there are any invalid or missing board filters. If we find invalid or missing filters, you’ll need to:

  • Add a valid filter to your project board.

  • If you don't have a valid filter, create a new one and then add it.

To configure the board and any of its settings, you must be either:

  • project administrator for the project where the board is located

  • board administrator for the board you want to configure

Add a valid filter

To add a valid filter:

  1. Go to your board.

  2. From the navigation on the left, select the More actions icon () > Board settings.

  3. On the General settings page, use the Select filter list to add a valid filter.

  1. From the navigation bar, select Filters > View all filters.

  2. Select Create filter.

  3. Define and run your search.

  4. Select Save filter above the search results.
