Problem Definition

Currently, if users use board like below:

1. Create a board with filter: (project = TEST AND description is EMPTY ORDER BY Rank ASC).
2. Create an Epic with description.
3. Create few Stories without description.
4. Choose to list the issues in board using Epic in Swimlanes option.

The stories will be shown in the backlog since those issues fulfil board filter but will not be shown in the Active Sprint view.

Suggested Solution

Add a new row in Active Sprint view named "Issues with unrelated epics" so the affected Stories will be grouped in this category.

Workaround

1. User can ensure that board filter that they are using allows the board to retrieve all the issues including Epic/Stories/Sub-tasks
2. Use different Swimlanes options.
