View tasks from all projects in one place
I want to be able to view tasks from all projects, for example, based on filters. But only in the board view can I see the display by my categories. By categories, I mean the category field.

Hi @Varvara K_ ,
Categories are - just like Components - bound to a single Space.
Even if you name the Categories exactly the same, Jira will handle these as different Categories. So you cannot aggregate Work Items per Category across Spaces.
In the below example, you see that Fruit is displayed twice (once for each Space that contains a Fruit category).
Also, I don't think it is possible to create multiple Boards inside a Business Space (only in Software Spaces).
So I think you hit a limitation of what you can do with Categories and Business Spaces.
But maybe someone has found a work-around for this?

Sure in a Table format (such as in the Work Item Search, or in a Filter Results dashboard gadget) you can see the Categories as text just fine. Also across multiple Spaces. Below an example of a Work Item Search where I search across 2 projects, and I have included the column 'Category' so that it shows that data in the table:
The limitation is, that whenever you will ask Jira to group by Category, it will show the categories as separate categories even if they have the same name.
