Currently, the swimlane for **This Month** shows tickets that have a due date in future months.

Can I adjust the JQL for the Future swimlane to hold the tickets that are beyond the next month + duedate empty?

Thank you!

The JQL to satisfy that requirement would be:

duedate is empty or duedate \>= startOfMonth(+2)

If the current month is June then startOfMonth() = June 1

If the current month is June then startOfMonth(+1) = July 1

If the current month is June then startOfMonth(+2) = August 1

I just want to add my opinion about your existing swimlanes:

* this week**: `duedate <= endofweek()`** : This will take all tickets due in the past, including last week. it shoul be **duedate \>= startofweek() and duedate \<= endofweek()**
* **this month:** `duedate >= endofweek(+1)`: This will take all tickets due from June 23rd, 2026 onwards. It doesn't make sense. It shoul be **duedate \>= startofmonth() and duedate \<= endofmonth()**
* **next week:** `duedate <= endofweek(+1)`: This will take all tickets due in the past, including this week. it shoul be : **duedate \>= startofweek(+1) and duedate \<= endofweek(+1)**

This was set up by a former employee. I'm learning here!

In that case, tickets that were completed will move to the Done column. Thank you!

it correcte your jql for next month , and for all issues that don't meet your JQL due date, you will find them in the "Everything else" lane.

and for your last question :  
A swimlane is a horizontal categorization of issues, not for completed or uncompleted issues. Here a exemple

If you don't see few completed issue ,your need control your configuration of the board to show completed issues.
