different issue for different boards on one project

[Tom M]

sorry if this question has already asked been resolved.

i have 5 kanban board under 1 project. all issues show up in all 5 kanban board where each board should list only issues pertaining to one board. 

how can i get each board to list and view only related issues of each board?

Hi Tom,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You can use filters to control what is being shown on a board, so yo need to configure each board to use different filters that only select the issues related to that board. See Configuring filters for more details.

i dont see a way to configure the filter to the correct board. the board is not listed in saved filter.

Once you saved your filter, go back to the board and under Board settings you can change the filter the board is using. You also have the option to edit the filter query that the board is currently using if you do not want to create a new filter. See Configuring a board for more details.

Boards are not containers, they are views.  They each have settings (quite a lot) which include the "board filter".

Filters are separate from boards (although often created together as a board requires a filter to run!) and hence on a separate list.

I would visit each board in turn, looking at the board filter (board settings -> general configuration) and check that each board has a filter that includes only the issues you want to see on that board, and does not draw in the issues you want to appear only on the other boards.

each board is filtered correctly with the name of the correct board but still all issues are visible on all boards.

FYI- i see other projects with multiple boards with filter notice:

Some issues in the Saved Filter will not be shown on the board

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

The name of the board is irrelevant. Please look at each board's filter.  A board will show all the issues that the filter for it selects.

Simple example - if you set up two boards with filters:

• B1: issuetype = bug
• B2: project = XYZ

Then if you have an issue with key XYZ-42 which is a Bug, it will appear on both boards, because both of them select it.

What you need to do to have five boards with separate issue lists is set up exclusive filters for each and every board, so none of them draw in issues from the others.
