Can I assign a screen to a board that assign a specific label?

[Michael Arndt]

I have two boards in a project. When someone is on Board2 I want it to assign a specific label. Is this possible?

Boards do not belong to projects, although Jira does make it look like they do.

When you say "someone is on board2", what does that mean?  To assign a label, you can just edit an issue, but I think you're asking for some form of automation?

Basically I have two boards located in a project. One if for general issues (board1) and the other is I use as a fridge for issues we plan to getting to next year (board2). 

Board1 shows all issues EXCEPT those with a label called "fridge".

Board2 ONLY shows issues labeled with "fridge".

My concern is that my users will add issues to board2, forget to label it with fridge and then it won't show on the board. To solve this I would like issues added to the Board2 to automatically be assigned the "fridge"label.

There is no way to do this - a board is a view of a set of issues, not a defining feature.  There is nothing wrong with having boards based on "label = X" (or not-X), but the board does not inform issue creation in any way.

Your people don't care where they are when they create an issue, they just want something doing.  I know it's hard, but we need to educate/coerce/persaude/<other manipulative words> our people into giving us good data.  "Creating from a board" is not a good way to do it.
