      I have my agile board set to swimlane based on epics, which my teams love. However I've noticed that epics without stories don't show at all, making it easy to lose track of things if you're attempting to build out an epic from the board. It would be nice to add a toggle onto the "Swimlane" screen to turn off this functionality so that empty epics still show as swimlanes, just with no tickets in them.

            It is amazing how many problems I find in Jira were reported years ago, but they are still not solved.

            And Atlassian support is asking, why we are considering leaving Atlassian products ...

            • This affects usability and Jira adoption for non-technical users. If we had an on-going epic reserved operations and maintenance (bugs, requests, adminsitration), already I have had users that find the board intuitive, but will not be able fathom how to find empty epics to add their issue (which is later triaged and verified by the team).
            • I am trying to champion Jira for the organization, and have all employees empowered to use the tool. This is a blocker that makes it hard to promote the tool within the org for a less technical audience and just want to monitor and enter their issues on the boards. I want to streamline the process where users should not need to go to a developer or PM to enter issues for them, as the PM would prioritize and triage the issues in the backlog, and select what's for development.
