Why is the same sprint displaying a different number of issues on different boards?

[Tom Garland]

I have Project X with two boards: Board A and Board B

In the backlog section of Board A sprint Z contains issues: issue1, issue2, issue3, issue4, issue5

In the backlog section of Board B sprint Z (same sprint name) only shows issues: issue1, and issue2

Why are issues 3/4/5 not showing on Board B even though they have been assigned to the same sprint?

Thanks

Hi @Tom Garland Please check the board filter and sub-filter. Try to put both these Board filter queries in the Issue advanced search and see if they return same results. Even if issue 3 is part of Sprint Z on both Board A and Board B, it will be shown only when the Board filter allows it. Hope this helps!

Many thanks @Anandhi Arumugam _Cprime_

So would I be right in thinking the following:

1. In any given project there can only ever be one sprint with that unique name (Sprint Z in my case)
2. Issues can appear on that sprint from _any_ board so long as
   1. The issue has been assigned to that sprint
   2. The boards filter allows that issue to be displayed

Hi @Tom Garland 

To answer your questions,

1. A project (eg: My Scrum Project 1) can have one or more Sprints named Sprint Z

2. Projects My Scrum Project 1 and My Scrum Project 2 can have one or more Sprints named Sprint Z

3. More than the name, each sprint have an ID that matters. The ID will be unique for each sprint across Jira system.

4. When you create a board filter, you need to make sure you pick the right Sprint ID to show the issues. If you want issues to show from My Scrum Project 1 - Sprint Z (id 40) and My Scrum Project 2 Sprint Z (id 5), then your filter should look like 

project IN ("My Scrum Project 1", "My Scrum Project 2") AND Sprint IN (40, 5) ORDER BY created DESC

Hope this helps!
