Hide theme when all stories within that theme are hidden

Stefan 11 years ago updated by Matthew O'Riordan (Founder) 10 years ago 2

When filtering out stories, I would like the theme to also disappear if all stories within that theme are hidden. This would give a much clearer view of what's left to work on.


Since it's not yet possible to prioritize stories independently from themes, we keep the themes small. The side effect is that we get a lot of themes and once all stories in the top themes are done, you still have an "empty shell" when you hide the complete stories.

Hi Stefan


Interesting idea, and certainly quite achievable technically, however I would have some concerns about some usability issue because there would be no easy way for a user to know that the them exists whilst working in a filtered view.  Perhaps once we support viewing the backlog without grouping by theme, this would effectively solve this problem anyway?  What do you think?

When all stories in a theme are completed, you want the theme to be completed as well, and hidden.

I am also looking for similar functionality. Maybe if there is a checkbox under the filter dropdown to enable hiding the theme when all stories in it are hidden? The default would be to have it unchecked (so it doesn't change for anyone unless they want it to). How does that sound?
