Auto-fix and backup Jira filters
TL;DR
Browser extension for Scrum Masters and DevOps Engineers that auto-fixes broken Jira filter URLs and backs up filters to cloud storage so they can restore the 'Save Filter' button and prevent data loss in 5+ hours/week
Target Audience
Jira power users (Project Managers, Scrum Masters, DevOps Engineers) in tech/enterprise teams who rely on saved filters for daily workflows.
The Problem
Problem Context
Jira users rely on saved filters to track projects, but a recent bug hides the 'Save Filter' option, forcing manual workarounds. This breaks their workflow and wastes time recreating filters daily.
Pain Points
The 'Save Filter' button disappears after editing JQL queries, leaving only 'Clear Filters.' Users must manually edit URLs to save changes, which is error-prone and time-consuming. If they miss this step, filters are lost permanently.
Impact
Teams waste 5+ hours/week manually recreating filters, delaying project tracking and decision-making. Lost filters mean missed deadlines, misaligned teams, and frustrated users who can’t trust Jira’s core functionality.
Urgency
This is a daily disruption for Jira power users—without a fix, they risk losing critical project data and falling behind. The workaround (URL editing) is unreliable and not scalable for teams.
Target Audience
Project Managers, Scrum Masters, DevOps Engineers, and Agile teams using Jira for issue tracking. These users depend on saved filters to monitor sprints, bugs, and workflows across projects.
Proposed AI Solution
Solution Approach
A browser extension that automatically detects when the 'Save Filter' option is missing in Jira and fixes the underlying URL issue in real time. It also backs up filters to prevent future losses and syncs across devices.
Key Features
- Filter Backup: Saves all active filters to the cloud, so users can restore them if Jira’s bug resurfaces.
- Cross-Device Sync: Keeps filters in sync across browsers and devices.
- One-Click Restore: Lets users quickly reload lost filters without manual URL editing.
User Experience
Users install the extension once. When they edit a JQL filter in Jira, the extension silently checks for the 'Save Filter' bug. If detected, it fixes the URL and shows a confirmation. Backups happen automatically, so users never lose filters again.
Differentiation
Unlike manual workarounds (URL editing) or waiting for Jira’s bug fix, this tool works instantly and proactively. It’s the only solution that combines auto-fixing, backups, and sync—no IT approval or complex setup required.
Scalability
Starts with individual users, then expands to teams (seat-based pricing). Can add features like bulk filter management, Jira API integrations, or admin dashboards for larger organizations.
Expected Impact
Saves users 5+ hours/week by eliminating manual fixes. Restores trust in Jira’s core functionality and prevents data loss. Teams can focus on projects instead of troubleshooting tools.
