Hide specific Work Items:

For example, you have a Gantt Chart showing dozens of User Stories, but some of them are already Verified, and you don't need to see them on a Gantt anymore.

So to make it look nice and clean we can hide user stories that have the status 'verified'

To do so first, prepare a Gantt Chart, and then add a little snippet to the Item Script:

if(wi.getType().getId()==="userstory" && wi.getStatus().getId()==="verified"){
    task.hide=true;
}

As you can see now all verified user stories are hidden from the Gantt Chart.

Of course, work items do not need to be called the same, you can change all the parameters depending on your project configuration.

Note: please be aware of using only straight quotation marks "" and not lopsided “”

Hide specific Plans:

To achieve this functionality for Plans, use the following Item Script, which can be customized according to specific plan requirements and your project configuration:

 if (plan.getTemplate().getId() === "planTemplateID") {
   task.hide = true;
   }

Let's see how it works. We want to hide the 'Milestone' type plan from the Gantt chart, so we have to add the following snippet to the Item Script:

 if (plan.getTemplate().getId() === "Milestone") {
   task.hide = true;
   }

After inserting the edited script, the 'Milestone' plan is no longer displayed in Gantt:
