Swimlane question

Question

I am trying to link tickets from a JIRA A board to the
 JIRA B board. I currently configured the swimlane to have the
following jQuery to pull info:

* project = "(A)Creative Group" AND cf[11858] = "Brand Marketing"

Essentially, I am trying to grab anything within the Creative Group
that has "Brand Marketing" as the department.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Interesting Nic, that definitely explains it better for me as I walked in to this sorta blind.

A swimlane can have any (reasonable) query you want, and there's certainly nothing wrong with your JQL there.

But I think you're not understanding what a swimlane does.   A swimlane is a row that groups together cards on a board.  It does not add cards to a board.  The cards it groups together must be on the board already.

If you want to do this, you need to alter your board query so that it selects "(Project = Jira B)  or (Project = A and cf-11858 = "brand marketing")
