How can I filter by priority on the taskboard in DevOps?

Viewed 3275

In Azure DevOps in Boards > Sprints you have different options to look at a sprint.

When you're in Taskboard view there's a filter button, that allows you to filter by: "Types", "Assigned to", "States", "Tags", and "Area". Where's the "Priority" option?

1.Sorry but as I know Priority is not a supported filter option in TaskBoard for now. Maybe you can try using Style Rules to highlight the important Items as a temporary workaround.

(Style rules can't filter the cards actually, but it helps us to distinct Priority levels easily.)

2.Also, feel free to post a feature request in our User Voice forum to share your feedback about our product. I too think it's a good idea to add the Priority into filter option!

After that you can share the feedback link in this case, members interested in that can vote for you and product team would raise its priority if it gets more votes. Hope it helps :)

The best workarround I've found so far is to type the number on the "Filter by keyword" field. If you put 1 for example, you will see all the tasks with priority 1 and all the tasks that have a 1 in their title.

You don't need the priority field sorted cause in the Sprint backlog you determine the importance of the work items by the order in which they appear, the upper work items are the most important ones.

You can change the order by drag and drop work items from one location to another.
