Adding existing filter to board will add board to different project

Question

We are having a problem when creating a Boards on project with existing Saved filter will create that board on not correct project.

Not sure if am doing something wrong on this is a bug (my guess is a bug a wanted to check on community first)

Steps to recreate:
1. Open Project X1 
2. Create a new Board with existing saved filter
3. Select some Saved filter

Current behaviour:

- Newly created filter will not created under Project X1 
- Newly created filter will be created under Project from which saved filter is

Expected behaviour:
- Creating Board with Existing saved filter should created a new board under selected Project X1 with already created columns and statuses from saved filter

JIRA type: server

@Luka_Pavlešić,

If you go with "Create project with shared schemes" that won't allow you to copy boards and other stuff but only schemes used by the project

In our case we use one of the built-in-functions of scriptrunner plugin to copy project which allows to copy Board, version and component/s, etc..

but it's a paid plugin. if you search in marketplace you may find similar apps too

Ah, thank you for your answers...

Really wish JIRA made it possible to do more duplication/copy functionalities between projects and project setup to make it way faster to start a new project.

Especially since I am sure most of the companies are using same/similar setup on all of their projects it processes are something company based most of the time...

If you by any chance have a good idea how to create a new project with same workflow, board and whole configuration as same other project, I would appreciate it.

Since unfortunately you cannot even duplicate some existing projects (if I could, we would be able to have one empty fully configured project as template and just create every other project we needed by duplicating that one).

I understood, but as far as I know there is no easy way to achieve this

the one more possibility is you can clone those boards, but to be clear unless you change board's filter(copied) they won't appear in new project(s)

You can copy then through Board --> Copy

Refer THIS page for more details about changing filter for a board
