Creating a Project that only shows your issues across all projects

[Matthew Kim]

Looking to create a project that only has issues that are assigned to me across all projects in our instance. 

How would i do this?

What would the query look like?

Hi Matthew - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I agree with Cody above. Projects are not a good solution for private tasks - especially following the Kanban framework. 

I would suggest you create a filter where project = abc and assignee = currentUser() - your you can use your actually username. 

Then create a board with that filter as the base. 

One of the main tenants of Kanban is visualizing (unhiding) your work. Unless you are a one person SCRUM team, that would be the preferred method.

Is there a specific reason you want it to be a project? 

I am only asking because you can achieve this with a simple JQL search that you can save. If you need this as a project, the only way I can think of would be to use the add on Queues for Jira Service Desk. That allows for cross project queues. I see you have Jira Software as a tag so I don't know if that will work for you. Don't quote me on this but I think you can pull in non-JSD tickets into the queues as long as you are in a JSD project. So if that is correct and you have JSD, I would try that. 

Again though, the easiest solution is to make a JQL filter. That filter can be shared with other people too if it needs to be.

Sorry i forgot to mention that this project is on JIRA Cloud, and I would like to have a full SCRUM project that's just for me. Where all backlog items are in the backlog and all Issues that are in sprints would be in the sprint. 

If that's not possible I would like to atleast to have Kanban board where all the issues live. We've done this with a Master Project, but that has everyone's issues. The main reason being is that I use our JIRA cloud for alot of Private personal projects.

Hey @Matthew Kim

Sorry for the late reply! I don't really have a good solution for you. If you were to go with a "Master Project" you can at least filter the boards by your own issues.

You could do something like this. You can make a new project and for each of your other personal projects, make a component in the new project to represent them. Then move all the issues out of the other projects and into the "Master Project" That would at least give some sort of organization for them. You could then create quick filters for each component to only show issues relating to that component. 

I don't know how good of a solution that is but with what you are specifically looking for, it's just not possible.
