    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently, the Activity Stream in JIRA only supports the following:

      1. Project
      2. JIRA Issue Key
      3. Update Date
      4. Username
      5. Activity
      6. Issue Type

      It will be better if there is a function whereby you are able to use custom JQL to filter out the Activity Stream.

            This would be great as I want to just see things that happened today which is not possible now. So when I view this activity stream on 2021-11-23, I want to see anything that's updated only on 2021-11-23. With JQL this would be possible.

            The activity stream feature as it stands today is useless. I don't want to see the entire organization's activity. I want to see the activity on issues where I'm involved. That means issues reported by me, watched by me or comments directly tagging me.

            I am disappointed this is not being further considered by Atlassian. As our Jira user base grows, the activity stream becomes more cluttered because I am unable to filter by the right type of activity I want to see. It worked okay when we just had one location using our instance, but now with multiple locations using our instance the activity stream is now rendered useless because I can't filter by any custom fields. This improvement has been identified in 2012 and has 232 votes, can we get an update on where this is at please?

            JQL is THE feature in Jira for properly filtering issues depending on a range of needs. I am surprised it still isn't one of the main choices. Leaving out this kind of basic functionality to 3rd party plugins is going to slowly push Jira behind in the competition. I would agree that this stream is actually useless without this feature, which is probably why nobody at my company can ever really rely on it. This is currently only the scent of a reliable feature, and nothing more.

            Personal activity stream should have something like this.

            When we access SystemDashoard, we should be able to see the activity that happened recently on this name.

            Just found the activity stream and thought it was useful until I saw it had way too much information and not enough granularity in the filtering.

            I guess I could create a dozen different Streams to try to see only the info I want, but that sounds less than ideal.

            Print cards? Jira-there-is-a-plugin-for-that.

            Usable activity stream?  Jira-there-is-a-plugin-for-that.

            Export to excel?  Jira-there-is-a-plugin-for-that.

            etc etc etc Some features are half baked and others are removed through the years. Each plug will run you like 1 USD / user / month, so atleast 1200 USD+ per year.

            So plugin budget if you want Jira to really work is pretty high... Gah! </rant>

            This would be extremely helpful. We have several projects that have teams split by location and the teams have suggested that the ability to have the activity view customized by JQL so that they only have to see stuff applicable to the portion of their team that is at a specific location (location is a custom field) would be very helpful as the split of the team is not only location but functional in the issues they are assigned as well so they do not need to see the activity of all the others in their daily work.

            I'm experiencing a reoccurring set of events related to Jira: 

            1. I need some pretty darn basic project management functionality, which could be really simple, but it's not
            2. I find lots of posts about people having the same kind of issues as me – I'm (sadly) not that special
            3. I find suggestions to solutions to my needs in add-ons that 1) cost money, 2) I'm not able to use anyway as I'm working in an enormous organisation that can't buy and install costly add-ons every other day
            4. I find some extremely suboptimal solution to my needs, that covers some of the necessary functionality, but some stuff leaves me puzzled. I Google the puzzles, and not surprisingly ...
            5. I find Jira suggestions that was posted years ago, no action taken from Atlassian to fullfill the suggestions

            Now, related to this particular case: why on earth don't you have this feature? As of today, you have to chose between extremes: 

            1. I want activity of an entire project (we have more than 40 k issues in our project). Scope: EXTREMELY WIDE
            2. I want activity on one issue. Scope: EXTREMELY NARROW
            3. Tighter scope than in 2.

            What's the point of an activity stream if you're not able to scope it properly?

            This would a VERY good feature to have. We need an activity feed that can be customized. Especially if there are dozens of people using the same JIRA project and we have certain projects we are implementing that share a JIRA project. Please consider this as a way to streamline our feed.

            As a new JIRA user, this was the firs thing I tried to do to customize my experience. It was mind-boggling to me that not only was this not the default, but that it wasn't even an option.

            I'm 'watching' the issues I'm interested in, and not interested in all activity on the project. I want to see the activity on the things I'm watching in JIRA instead of only in outlook (via email notifications)

            Yes, this is bugging me greatly. I want my activity stream to show all activity for Category = X so all projects under that category will display. Can't do it at the moment.

            +1 to this. If JQL option is provided, you don't need the separate options for Project, JIRA Issue Key, Update Date, Username, or Issue Type (don't even need a saved filter option because you can use JQL for that e.g. "filter = 12345").

            All you'd need is the existing Activity (lookup box) and a JQL textbox option, simplifying the UI.

            I have voted for this issue. Improved filtering would be incredibly useful for seeing the wood for the trees.

            Trouble is, the definition of "wood" & "trees" can change depending on what one is working on... it can be important to be able to switch between filters. This can be done using multiple instances of the activity stream gadget. But this should not be necessary... up to JIRA v5.0.7 it used to all be offered by the

            Quick Filters Plugin for Activity Streams

            What happened to that?

            So, ideally, I would like to filter using JQL and be able to switch filters as well.
