      As Patrick, I want to use epics for swimlanes so I can see progress of each epic within a sprint more easily.

      1. Both stories and subtasks for the epics should display.
      2. Only an option for Scrum boards
      3. The swimlane presentation is similar to "story task" swimlane: Epic Name, possibly issue key
      4. No detail view shown for epic; clicking on swimlane selects first issue in swimlane (same as Assignee)
      5. Issues without epics shows at the bottom

            This still seems broken to me. There's no option to have a swim lanes by epic in hosted.

            When a story is filtered out with a quick-filter, the sub-tasks for that story all show up at the bottom as "issues without epics." This really limits the usefulness of this feature!

            Related to some of the comments above (regarding the need to support down to the subtask level), as we're going through our Jira / GH evaluation, this is something we're really struggling with on the kanban boards. We've investigated using labels instead (to emulate the grouping provided by epics), and this allows me to create a swimlane per label, but I have to manually set each subtask to contain the label also. Does anyone have any better workarounds for organizing issues on the kanban board?

            Agree with Taber, I need to combine swimlanes for versions, epics and stories with subtasks.

            I vote for this but with a 'twist':
            See the request I logged here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-8161
            Basically, to allow a toggle to further segregate a swimlane (swimlane(s) within a seimlane) by Version, Epic, etc (which Jira already knows about, no need to configure a 'quick filter').

            Please fix. Can hack now with custom swimlane queries, but these don't include any sub-tasks. Please fix ASAP!

            From my point of view, the "Epic"-feature isn't complete without this function.

            I just spend a day configuring a project in a SCRUM-like-manner just because I thought
            I could gain an automaticly epic-ordered board.

            I was very surprised, that this didn't work...

            you can already do that if you know the epic label and then customize the board with jql statement.
