Why is Parent Link showing Initiatives different boards?

[Josh Kamrass]

Our company is just starting to introduce initiatives to our boards. Is someone able to walk me through why in the parent link field initiatives from other boards are showing up in the drop down menu of parent link?

Are initiatives not specific to their own boards and/or is there a filter that needs to be set up? We are planning to use initiatives across the entire group 50+ people and 20+ boards, which will create far too many Initiatives to choose from within the Parent link if they cannot stay board specific.

Hi @Josh Kamrass ,

All boards issues are controlled by a filter. In the board configuration, there is filter associated to it. Must narrow down the filter, to narrow down the issues shown on a board.

However, the parent link field is not really controlled by filters. If you have access to those tickets, it will show up on the list as well. Use the search feature to narrow down to the items you want to see on the parent link drop down.
