I created a new scrum board by cloning one already created with customized settings. I want to remove a certain number of tasks/issues from this new board so it only includes those for one team (Board B) and leaving the rest in the old board for that team (Board A). I have the 'delete' option in the new board (but want to make sure that the tasks/issues in the old board aren't deleted/affected. Will this be the case? Thank you!!!

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- Thank you! I appreciate the clarification. Have a great day!

I am sorry, I was not clear - this will only damage the sprints that were created in the board you're looking to delete. Deletion of other boards that are not the originators of the sprints will not affect them. Also, if you do get it wrong, you can still create a board that will show the sprints again, and move issues through to the end and then delete the board again once the sprints have been ended. In more simple terms, I was not clear that "deleting a duplicate board will not affect the original"

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Will deleting a task in a new replicated board affect the original task in the original board?

Boards do not contain issues, they are a view of a set of issues. Projects are the issue containers.

If you do something to an issue on a board, you are affecting the issue. If you edit it, transition it, delete it, the change happens to the issue. Other boards will show that change because they are only a view.

Please correct me if I'm wrong- so in this scenario, I cannot delete a task in a cloned board because it will also delete it in any other boards where it is viewed?

If this is the case, should I just delete the cloned board and create a new one and move tasks one by one over to the new board?

The overall goal is to separate tasks of two teams currently on the same board- I'm looking for the easiest way to have the same configurations/settings as the original board and move the tasks

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Correct - because a board is looking at an object, if you change or delete that object, it's changed/deleted in all the other views too.

You can't "move an issue from one board to another" - issues are objects that the boards view.

You need to create separate tasks for each team and then create views (boards) for them that choose to view them, selecting by different criteria. Your boards will NOT have the same configuration - you can make them work almost the same, but the boards will need to view different sets of issues, so they will need different board filters.

Thank you so much for this clarification!! I'm off to create and configure and new board

I've noticed the similar issue somehow, we are switching from Trello to Jira now:

1. I've migrated a board from our Trello space to the Jira project (temporary Project A).

2. Then I've moved tasks and issues from the A Project to different Projects B, C, D.

3. And the new tasks are disappearing from new projects after deleting from the original A.

Is this possible?
