Setting a default opening page in JIRA Desktop App for Mac

Steve Larson_vnz86y

Hello, I've just installed the JIRA Application for Mac OS Catalina. When I open the app, it automatically opens to the Projects Page(Screen shot 1). I want it to open directly to a specific planning board(Screen shot 2), but to do so, I must choose a random project, then go to the dropdown in the upper left of the window to select a board. Is there any way to set this board as default?

Hi Steve,

I understand that when you start the Jira app for Mac that it does not appear to be defaulting that first page to the last board you were using.  So far I have not been able to recreate this problem. 

However I should note that I did get an update to my app this morning.  Currently I'm running Version 109.0.0 (109.0.349).  I would be interested to see which version of this app you are running.  You can find this when the app is open by going to the toolbar -> Jira -> About Jira.

In my version I have found that once I navigate to the board I want and then close the app, the next time I load the app, that board is the first page it takes me to.  So perhaps there was a bug here, but I'd be curious to learn more about your environment here to see if this can be resolved by the latest update or not.  Please let me know.

Andy
