New SearchBar on the board

Tasks on the board or backlog can be filtered using a well known Search Bar from the Issue Search screen. We’ve added some extra features:

Status indicator

Filtering status indicator shows if the filtering is active or not.

Clear button

Clears currently selected filters or JQL in advanced mode.

Dimmed clear label means the filter is not set.

Filters menu

Use this menu to access user, board or global filters and forget about Quick Filters.

SearchBar fields customisation

Default SearchBar fields can be easily changed.

Troubleshooting

• Complex JQL may not be able to use Basic view and the search bar will automatically switch to Advanced JQL Mode

• The "Auto-update search results-filtering" Jira option is disabled on the SearchBar. After you selected a value from a combobox the Update button has to be pressed to apply the filter.

• Sorting using ORDER BY JQL clause is not supported and will be ignored.
