How to automatically move a story to another Board when changing its status ?

Question

Hey !

I would like to move a story to another Board when I update its status

Ex : When my story in my PM board is ready, I would like to change its status in "Ready to dev" and make it move to the Tech board, automatically...

How can I achieve that ?

Thanks !

Thanks guys ! I managed to do it

It seems that my boards have been created in separate projects. When it is part of the same project it is working just fine !

thanks

Boards are not issue containers, they are a view of issues.

To make an issue "move" from one board to another, you need to set it up so that the source board and target board select exclusive issues and then make a change to the issue you want to "move" so that the source board stops selecting it and the target board starts selecting it.

You have mentioned the status, so I would recommend setting up your boards to look at that.

Hi @antoine delahaye

If you meant the Kanban/Scrum board, its all driven by the issue filter that you use in the board configuration settings.

So here you might want to consider changing the filter query used by boards as below:

PM Board: issuetype = Story and status in (Ready, ..)

Tech Board: issuetype = Story and status = 'Ready to DEV'

So once the status of the Story is changed, it will disappear from the first board and show in the second one.

You can also use the option to hide the statuses under 'Unmapped statuses' to hide the issues belonging to those ones.
