How do I create a task board for a specific set of work items?
I'm trying to create a (web UI) task board that shows a specific set of stories and work items. The WIs all have the same iteration (which is shared with many other work items), but a unique tag, and a unique parent/ancestor hierarchy. They do not share a work item category.
How do I create a task board that only shows those work items?
I've tried applying filters to the view config but those work with varying degrees of success.

Try with an expression filter on tags: you can do a NOT in front of the filter.
E.g. "!tags:scm". This filters out all workitems without the SCM tag. You can also use multiple tags in the expression. Just separate the expressions with space.

Have you tried to use the Display option "Group" instead? You can use the group option on tags, this will result in a taskboard that is devided into groups regarding their tags. That means, if your work items all have the same tags, they will appear in the same group.
filter is the one which can pull out the specific tagged workitems.
however in plan views, I understand that the way filter works is the exact opposite of what you are looking for.. applying a filter saying filter : tags:scm will show you all workitems which do not have the tag scm by filtering out the "scm" "tagged" workitems..
so a not so neat way of getting it to work is to apply tags filter on all other tags available for you. however when a new tag gets added, this view needs modification on its filters.. not very neat as i said earlier..
