Jira or board administrator can finally manage all filters in a simple way.

For example you can create a set of Quick Filters using a text editor and import them into any board using JSON.

Exporting to JSON format

Any kind of filters can be exported into JSON format.

Afterwards filters can be:

imported into a different board or Jira instance using the import functionality
copied as different type using the Copy to functionality

Importing filters to a new board

Copy the exported JSON, edit it if needed and choose the filter type.

Permissions to import or create filters are described in the table above under “Management rights” section

Copying filters to a new type

In the Filter Manager select a tab with the type of filters you’d like to copy
Press the Copy to.. button
From the dropdown select a new filter type
Edit the JSON if needed
Click import.

Import and Copy to errors

In some cases the import may be unsuccessful caused by:

Invalid format of the copied JSON
Invalid JQL in the JSON - that may happen if Jira fields, projects, etc. will be deleted or renamed
