Saved Filters

Saved Filters in Approval Path

You can now save your customized filters in both the Approvals and Definitions tabs.

Saved filters are stored within Jira add‑on properties using the REST API. All users with appropriate permissions can access and modify this data - our app doesn’t restrict or prevent these changes, so please be mindful.

What You Can Do

  • Save, apply, edit, and delete filters in the Approvals and Definitions tabs

  • Use all available filter types

  • Share filters with other users or groups.

  • Search through the list of saved filters

  • Use saved filters in:

    • Jira: Global view and Project view


How to Save a Custom Filter

  1. Set Up a Filter
    Apply the desired filters from the Approvals tab or Definitions tab.

  • Name (required): your custom filter name

  • Description (optional): notes for yourself or other users

  • Visibility:

    • Private (default) - only visible to you

    • Specific user or group - choose from users or groups

    • My organization - any logged-in user on your Jira instance


How to Use Saved Filters

  1. Click the Saved filters icon next to filter options (filter icon with tooltip).

  2. A list of saved filters will appear:

    • Apply: load the filter immediately

    • Edit: change name, description, or visibility

    • Delete: remove the filter

    • Search filters by name

The foregoing steps apply equally to the Definitions tab.

  • Only the filter owner can edit/delete; viewers can only apply the filter.

  • Users without administrator privileges (Personal View) can only use filters privately.
