Background/Rationale
Quick filters are very helpful. We use them extensively to help slice&dice the backlog into different views for different purposes. As we do this, though, the list of epics in the Epics panel remains the same.
When I use a quick filter, I do so because I want to focus on something (or to help the product owner focus on something). For example, one of the quick filters relates to a particular component. Not all of the epics are relevant to that component. This means that we are sorting through (i.e., distracted by) epics that aren't relevant. It creates mental clutter, if you will.
Similarly, it is difficult to assign issues to epics, because the epics are ordered by priority rather than component-proximity. This requires much scrolling of the Epics panel, which adds friction.
Suggestion
It would be lovely if there were an option (maybe something akin to "Create epic"? instead of???) to apply a quick filters to both the individual issues in the backlog and the list in the Epics panel.

[JSWCLOUD-18474] quick filters on the backlog to apply to the Epics panel as well as the issues
Good day Atlassian Product Team,
Would like to ask when will this feature be available for Jira users? this is important to the workflow that my team currently have. Looking forward to hear from you.
Yes, I want this too!
Working in a department that encourages anyone at anytime who has an idea to create an issue or epic and discourages closing them when we're not going to deal with them, my epics panel is many screens long.
To make it useful, I drag and drop my epics into the team's priority order. With a few screens full of epics the browser completely chokes on the drag and drop with very jerky updates. (I"m on a macbook pro M2 w/ 16gb RAM running up-to-date Chrome as a browser.. I suspect it's updating a very long list of properties in the DOM).
I would like to write a quick filter to use on a day-to-day basis with the team that will allow us to reasonably focus on the work in the sprint and the upcoming sprints. Maybe there's a better way to remove the clutter from view. (This might be a use case for sprinkling some AI onto the problem). I recognize this is hard... sometimes I'm using the backlog in a day-to-day way.. but my priorities and usage patterns change significantly when it's time to plan (in my current case we're on a quarterly planning cycle).
+1! Is there a way to formally vote for this? I have a long list of open epics that I need to have on my board. But 90% of the time I only want to see a handful of them. If you have quick filters, it would seem reasonable it should work on epics as well as stories/tasks. The backlog is the main place for this, but if we are dreaming, it'd like it on the Timeline as well. The Timeline does give you a couple of options, but they are a bit hardcoded - you can't create your own custom quick filter at the epic level. But if they brought over the Timeline filters to the backlog, that would at least be a start - you could at least filter out Epic Status "ToDo" and just see "In Progress"
+1
