Can I share one ticket (user story, epic, task) between two project?

[Anna Šívrová]

We have 2 software projects running separately. However, there are some tasks which are shared between the projects. Can I share those tickets (user story, epic, taks) between two project?

Not directly.  Projects are containers for issues, so an issue can only be in one project.  The only way to have an issue in two projects is to duplicate it, so you have two issues.

Hi @Anna Šívrová and welcome to the community,

You don't exactly share issues among projects. Projects are created with filters. If that filter includes this issue, then this issue will appear on the other project. If you are using a kanban or scrum board, make sure to map the columns!

[Anna Šívrová]

Yes we are using the scrum board for one project and the kanban for other. Can you please elaborate on how to practically use the filters in a way, so I can see one tasks in both of the projects then?

Change the board filters so that they select all the issues you want to see on their boards.

 It is not uncommon to see board filters like "Project = XYZ or label = ABC" - a team (board) with that sort of filter sees all the issues in project XYZ alongside all the issues people have added ABC to, to tell the team they need to look at other issues that might not be in project XYZ.
