Getting issues from multiple boards?

[Stefan Højrup]

I know this has been asked before - I have read the posts.

As far as I can tell it is possible. I am however experiencing some unwanted side effects.

In reference to this post:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Share-one-issue-quot-ticket-quot-across-multiple-projects-and/qaq-p/407534#M10014

This is my setup and unwanted side effects:

Project A - Board A
Project B - Board B

In Project A on Board A I have this filter query:

project = Project A OR (project = Project B AND labels = VisibleOnBoardA) 

It works like a charm. So in project A - Board A I can see issues from Project B which i labeled "VisibleOnBoardA"

When I look at Project A the only board in this project is Board A but now when I look at Project B there is not one but two boards. Board A and Board B. Why is this?

I changed the filter query in Project A on Board A but this somehow affects the number of boards in Project B.

Further more as it is not possible to set default board in jira. Whenever someone has been in Project A - Board A later than someone has been in Project B - Board B. Board A will be shown when the next person goes into Project B. Very weird.

Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Hi Stefan,

you see "Board A" on "project B" because in the filter of board A you are referencing project B.

You'll see the board in every project referenced in the underlying JQL. If there would be a third one, you would also see the board there.
