Milestones Completed no longer counts epics because the Milestones page shows them

What was wrong

Two parts of the product disagreed about what a completed milestone is:

• The Milestones Completed card on Velocity, the list behind it, and Throughput on the dashboard counted whatever the Milestones page listed as a group. When the Milestones page was set to show epics, closed epics were counted too.
• The Velocity chart's Milestones view counted milestones only.

So for a company whose Milestones page showed epics, the card could be higher than the sum of the chart's bars over the same period. A setting meant to tidy a page was quietly changing a headline number.

What changed

Which task types count is now a setting of the View (Lens settings → Milestones Completed — what counts). The card, the list behind it, the chart and Throughput all read it. A View that has never chosen counts milestones only, which is what the chart always counted. What the Milestones page shows no longer affects any count.

What you will see

• If your Milestones page was set to show epics, Milestones Completed and Throughput go down by the number of epics closed in the period. The chart does not change.
• If it was not, nothing changes.
• To count epics again, tick Epic in Lens settings and save the View. The card, the chart and Throughput then all count them, and the card says Counts milestones and epics.
