Hi Jacob,

Would you be able to open a support ticket specifically for your issue?

I think it would be for the best as we'd be able to look at your problem in more depth.

Regards,

Will

Any help on the below?

What about this issue? Surely there has to be a solution? Our teams have a massive level of output and without the roadmap this whole thing is almost useless.

Project exceeds issue or epic limit

If your project contains more than 3000 issues or 300 epics, the roadmap won’t display.

There’s a filter built into the roadmap, and it automatically exclude epics, if:

• The epic was moved to the Done status category more than a year ago.

• The epic was moved to the Done status category_,_ and it has a due date from more than a year ago.

It's good practice to set due dates on your epics, so you’re reminded to mark them as done or adjust the due date. You can find the Due date field within the issue view of the epic.

OH MAH GAH!

Thanks for fixing this. 

Thank you!

thank you! works perfectly and super user friendly.

Thank you so much for getting this done!  😊 

AWESOME WORK GUYS! love the view settings

The solution doesn't solve this problem though?

"
Too many issues to display the roadmap
Your roadmap isn't available because the project contains over 3000 issues. You must reduce the number of issues to continue using your roadmap."
 

I took Next Gen project in use for continuous software development of a software that already has 20 years of history and still has up to 5 version releases per year. We design features (Epics) for each upcoming release and schedule them in Roadmap based on development resources and other factors. The roadmap is a perfect tool for this for one release, but after that it's pretty much useless. I also want to export the roadmap at arbitrary development stages for marketing purposes, so automatically disappearing Epics is definitely not a welcome feature unless it's behind an option!

What I really need is to be able to filter the roadmap by Fix Version, or that the Epics of released versions would not appear in roadmap. Both of these features should make perfect sense without compromising anyone's use cases, and I'd imagine implementing them should be next to trivial. Please consider as urgent request.

Wow Sergej, thanks so much for this!! This means that a bulk change to issues that come under this filter: 

project = [myproject] and issuetype = epic and "Epic Status" != DONE and status = done ORDER BY created DESC

will remove all the Done Epics from the roadmap!!

This is exactly what I needed, albeit not an obvious workaround, as there is more than one way to mark an Epic as Done.

There is a way to hide the done epics on the Roadmap (classic project, cloud version):

1. Go to the Backlog and open the Epics panel
2. Click on the Colour selector
3. Click Mark as Done (this will change the Epic Status to Done)
4. Epic will disappear from both the Epics panel and the Roadmap

The process of getting the Epic to appear again is quite complex, so be careful that you don't close any by mistake. If you want to get the Epic back, you have to go to the issue navigator and use Bulk change to change the Epic Status field (it is not visible in the regular fields view). https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Mark-Epic-as-Done-how-to-undo/qaq-p/398458

For us the simple fix of just having In Progress and Done preselected does not work, because it also hides all Done issues inside In Progress epics. So when you expand issues of one epic, some of them are hidden. Which brings even more confusion. 

If the filter affected only epics, and not issues, then this would work. 

Agree with Bryan. I cannot understand why completed epics still visible on the roadmap.

The solution proposed will affect not only completed epics but also others, this is very confusing and unnecessary in my opinion.

The thing is it's not just filtering them. If you reach 300 epics, the roadmap itself breaks. You cannot see anything. And no, you can't even change the filter.

^^^^ Couldn't agree more with you Bryan Davies.  This is a simple and (you'd think) quick fix to remove an annoying step that everyone does whenever they open the roadmap view or they just get lazy and live with the annoyance of the clutter.

A simple fix would be to have the default filter be on Todo and InProgress when you open the page.  Hide the done.  Why bother with magically removing epics after 14 days?  That will be confusing.

To make this feature dead simple, make the default filter of showing only ToDo and InProgress system wide.  Make it a user set preference later on.  I'm suggesting this simple fix because the first thing everyone does when the open the road map is open the filter drop down and check on Todo And InProgress, so the quicker the fix the better.

+1

Please add a button to clear done epics from roadmap. We have quite a few project with roadmaps that have hit the limit.

We have few dozen of DONE Epics and a couple of IN PROGRESS.

This makes the Roadmap unusable.

+1

I would like the option to be able to mark Epic as Done and show as Done on Roadmap (current functionality) and a seperate option to remove the Done Epic from the Roadmap (required functionality).  

This way I can remove the Epics completed some time ago and keep newly completed Epics available in review. 

Not comfortable with Epics being removed from Roadmap at a set date not determined by me - very confusing.

The ability to show/hide storys/tasks/bugs should be seperate to Epic display as I'd like to show these as Done within Epics still in progress.

Thank you for working on it and CAN'T WAIT to see it rolled out!

+1

Even just a default filter that is applied when viewing the roadmap.  I hate that I have to filter it every time I go to the page.

Waiting on this for classic and nextgen projects. Don't worry about the 14 days, hide it as soon as I mark it "DONE"! 

Whatever the solution will be, please implement it for classic projects as well.

+1

Ability to mark individual epic(s) that should or should not be in the roadmap widget for confluence/Jira

+1

+1 - this would make an enormous difference to our working methods. Please implement!

This would be super cool

Exactly as Gisli says, this needs a solution and would prefer a designed solution over replicating an automation in a different part of the tool that solves a different problem. 

Any news on this?  It would be neat to be able to simply archive the done Epics instead of hiding them after an arbitrary 14 day period as the proposed solution says.  

We need this

Agreed this would make a huge impact in our lives.

roadmap view is basically unusable unless you can remove done epics from view.

Hello,

I also would love to see this feature working. It makes to roadmap difficult to use if the old Epics are still there taking space.

The best might be to have an button to show all done Epics when needed, but keep them hidden by default?

Thanks,

Lucas

@Chris Gillis

Yes but you have to do it every single time (you could save a link to avoid it, but not when you embed the roadmap in a Confluence page), and it doesn't work when a task is still not set as Done even if the Epic is.

You can filter the roadmap list to not include Done items.

Can you please do this one ASAP – this makes our roadmap unreadable.

How is this not done already? This thread in the community is one of many I found when looking for solutions: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/When-an-epic-is-complete-on-a-Next-Gen-project-how-do-you-remove/qaq-p/1021371

These requests have been around for years at this point, and would be something the entire user base would benefit from. 

Also our team could really do with this feature.

Erika – if we can't hide Epics, can we archive Epics as part of the option to do so?

Unless hide/archive seems to functioning the same way.

Please advise.

This would be very helpful! Currently I'm deleting epics after they get done but it's not sustainable...

Knowing Atlassian: they will only add this feature to their very expensive premium roadmap feature set...
Forcing you to upgrade all of your users to the expensive premium plan, even tough only 1 or 2 users in your company will use the roadmap...

Really expect this feature!

Hi everyone, 

This is Erika, PM for the roadmap team. Firstly I'd like to apologise to everyone for the delay with this work. We’re acutely aware that this is a really annoying problem for the roadmap customers today. Please know this is on our radar, but we can't comment on an exact time when it will be available. If you have any more feedbacks or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to me at esa@atlassian.com. 

Cheers,

Erika Sa

I'd add that I'd like this to carry over when the roadmap is linked into a Confluence page. I figure if there's an auto archive tool, what is embedded in the Confluence page would only include the same info as what is presented in Jira, however when I try @alexleonov's suggestion above (ie. using the full link to the pre-filtered roadmap) I still get a preview in my confluence page that shows all of the old done epics. So I thought it worth mentioning. 

Using the filter field to select all statuses but "done" does not work for me as it also filters the stories within an epic and I want to see them all when expanding a large feature.

I too am looking for a date when this will be ready. It is an issue in our Jira Cloud Next Gen Roadmap

Thanks!
