Usage Guide
Overview of Key Features
The Backlog App refines backlog issues by filtering based on a range of supported custom fields, including:
It saves your custom field and its values selections per board and user, preserving your filters across board reloads and switches.
Additionally, you can search for custom fields by name or ID and filter values by name, making it easy to apply the exact filters you need.
How to Use the Plugin: Step-by-Step Instructions
It provides a selection input area where you can choose the custom field.
After selecting a custom field, a multi-select component will appear, displaying a list of custom field values along with the total number of issues in the projects included in the board for each value. This allows you to choose multiple values, and the issues will be filtered according to your selections.
A 'Not equals' checkbox is also available if you want to view issues with values different from the selected custom field values.
It stores your custom field and field value selections for each board, making it easier to reapply them when you reload the board or switch between boards while working.
