Autoselect project by boardId

[Nikola Randjelovic]

Hello,

I want to auto-select the project when a user is on a specific board. How can I create automation by checking boardId and setting the project field?

Thanks

Hi @Nikola Randjelovic ,

I do not understand your question here. A board such as a kanban board is defined by the underlying filter for a project. I may be missing your point though. Could you explain further? 

[Nikola Randjelovic]

Sure.

We have a defined project "Tech Team" and all teams have a board under this project, a board with a filter for each project. When I created a board, it is under this main project, Tech Team. We have a lot of teams under the Tech Team and each has a separate board, filtering for projects which are not under tech Team one.

Example of structure:

- Project 1

- Project 2

- Project 3 

- Tech Team Project (Containing Teams Boards)

  -- team 1 -> project 1

  -- team 2 -> project 2

  -- team 3 -> project 3

When I am on Tech Team / Team 1 and I want to create a new issue it is under tech Team and I want to automate it and select project 1.

Ok so you're saying that you have one board (master board) that is represented by three different projects (a, b, c). Then you have three other boards represented by each single project (a, b, c). Now you want, that if one individual creates a ticket while viewing the master board, it would create the issue in the project associated with that individual? This isn't possible. The user (creator) needs to specify the project.

How should we organize this structure, and what is good practice in this situation?

Each team to have a board on their project or can we combine these teams anyhow.

We introduced the Spotify model and now we have a few teams working under the tribe but we have situations 2-3 teams are in the same tribe but working on different projects. Multiple teams working on the same project are easy to organize in JIRA
