Why sharing Epics also (badly) shares Versions?

[Mauro Bennici]

I created a board with a filter that includes all of the project A, and the epics of the project B.

The query that fills the board of project A is:

project = A or (project = B and type = Epic) ORDER BY Rank ASC

This query works in terms of epic sharing (I see B's epics on A's boards and I can use them) but has a bad side effect: the Versions panel shows A's versions and B's versions too, but the last are read only.

How can I hide B's versions or otherwise use them?

Thanks.

Hi @Mauro Bennici,

when you talk about read-only versions, do you say you would like to assign versions to issues from your backlog? I tried the same and got this error message:

Is this also the behaviour you encounter? I think the error message explains the cause pretty good.
Epics on the other hand don't have this "same project" restriction, that's why you are able to use them.

So, I guess you would like to hide the versions of project B in your board. Unfortunately, I believe this is not possible. Can someone else teach me better?

Cheers,
Matthias.

that is exactly my point.

You see versions, still you can't use them.

So I'd better hide them or use them, otherwise it's confusing.
