Two Scrum Boards for One Project - separate sprints?

[Deleted user]

For our JIRA project, we are trying to set up two Scrum Boards.

The First board would catch all of the JIRAs in Open, In Progress, and Ready.

The second board would then catch them as they flow from In Development, Testing, Resolved and Closed.

I've set them up this way and it seems to be working for the most part, except for one thing - it wont let us control sprints separately, which makes no sense to me. If I start a sprint on one board, it automatically starts it on the other with the same name. If I change the name it changes it on both boards. 

Is there something causing this? Can I tweak something so I can have two separate sprints happening, one on each board?

Dear @[deleted],

even if I cannot recommend doing this, there is a setting for Jira Administrators, called "Parallel Sprints". When enabled, you can start two sprints at the same time.

But why are the two boards even related at all? I only want one sprint at a time, one on each board.

Dear @[deleted],

a board is just a "view window" for a Jira project. They share a lot like sprints, ranks, versions.

If you want one sprint per board, you need to configure two projects. At all, it is not a good idea to have more than one Scrum Boards assigned to one project.
