Feature Idea: Dynamic Filters

Summary

For the filters section, instead of asking for a fixed date or fixed person, make it customized to the time period or whoever is logged in.

This allows for pages of boards to be created to view outstanding issues due in a short period of time and triage tasks relevant to the person that is looking at the board

How important this is to me and why

There are 3 use cases that I can outline. In my view, this feature would greatly reduce confusion and increase the usability of the boards. Because of my current project setup, the number of people and the tasks on the board are too difficult to consume. Not everyone is well versed in changing the filtering to their liking, and once they do, it changes for everyone. Creating views per person is not practical and the boards are unusable without selective filtering.

Importance: High

Use cases:

  1. Filter down large boards to cards relevant to the user
  2. Create dynamic views based on date
  3. When dynamic filters are built, this will allow filters to be present for all users

Additional context/similar features

Any examples of good implementations of this capability.

The functionality could mimic something like the JIRA functionality for quick filters: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-quick-filters/
