• Example of Kanban board
  
• Example of Sprint
  

This article explains how to hide/remove sub tasks from Kanban boards or Sprints.

Environment

Jira Software Server/Data Center 8.0.0 and any higher version.

Solution

The solution is the same whether you are trying to hide subtasks from a Kanban board or Sprints:

1. From the board, click on Board > Configure to access the Board configuration
2. Go to the General configuration menu, look for the Saved filter, and click on Edit Filter Query
   
3. Edit the JQL query associated to the filter by adding AND issuetype != Sub-task at the end of it, and save the filter
   
   
4. By excluding the issue type "Sub-task" from filter used by the board, sub-tasks will no longer be displayed:
   1. From the Kanban board
      
      
   2. Or From the Sprints (if the configuration change was made to the Agile board)
