Adding a dynamic filter to Jira dashboard
Asked by Shiyao Ling:

Hi all,

We want to create a dashboard with a project filter/dropdown menu, that way we can use it to see the status detail of each one of our projects without having to replicate it every time.

I know this has been asked many times in the past, seems like there is not a free/built-in function that allows for this type of dynamic filtering on the dashboard, I want to confirm this is still the case? And the popular options out there seem to be Quick Filters or Rich Filters?

Thanks,

Shiyao

I can recommend [Custom Chart](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220925/custom-charts-for-jira-reports-dashboards-graphs-tables?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)s, it has a simple query gadget that can be added and linked to the charts which allows you to select different fields to filter on. There are also other apps in the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=jira&query=charts) that can do this.
