Stackable Workfront Boards Column Filters

The current function of the Workfront Boards filters seem to be set up on an OR statement meaning if multiple filter options are selected the filter will pull [this selection] OR [that selection], and not [this selection] AND [that selection]. For example, we have a member of our team attempting to use the Boards column filter to see any tasks that are aligned to one particular project AND assigned to one particular user, but for some reason it is only pulling tasks assigned to the one particular user. 

It is extremely important to have flexible filtering options throughout Workfront and especially for Boards since they are used to allow teams to work in an agile way. If the filters are not flexible and easy to use then they present roadblocks to the teams attempting to use them. In a perfect world, the Workfront Boards column filter would work similar to the way the report filters do or work the same way as the intake filters do in boards. We are currently able to select OR or AND filters when crafting Workfront Boards intake column filters (found by clicking Configure), but the regular column filters do not give you the same options (found by clicking Filter). I've provided screenshots below to highlight the differences.

Hi @RachelP @AliseR @Erika_Antkowiak 

 

Thanks for your responses! To echo Erika's comment, this idea has been updated to the status of "Investigating." Further details regarding the status of this idea will be shared later this month. Please note that an idea in the "Investigating" stage does not guarantee that it will be implemented, just that it will be reviewed by the Product Management team. 

 

Future updates will be shared on this thread, so no need to look elsewhere!

Thank you all for your feedback. This is an item we are considering as an option in the future, but we do not currently have plans for this feature within the next 6 months.
