How can I aggregate specific user tasks on a new board with a low-level workflow?

Question

I would like to build a user-centric board(view), that aggregates the tasks from several other projects and project types but also provides the user with a lower level or nested workflow that executes entirely within the current step/column of the parent/source project workflows. I understand that a board is just a view and that I can create a new board/view that displays issues from different projects/boards by using filters; however, my challenge is in decoupling from the parent workflows within the new child user-centric board. I would like to set up the user-centric board/view/project with a lower level/nested workflow that occurs within the current column of the parent boards. The idea here is to reflect the lower level steps and interactions that a user must execute to perform a project level task such as "develop" without the Issue moving on the parent boards.

Thanks again Nic, I will set this up in my Sandbox and share my findings/experience. Cheers/

I do not think you're missing anything.  If you don't need "drag and drop in the same column" and are happy with doing it from another board, or by using the main issue view, then I think what you're proposing works very well.

Thanks Nic, I think it still may work for me because I'm not overly concerned with not being able to drag-n-drop between the internal/lower level states mapped to a single column on a parent project board since these transitions will be performed on the lower level child project board. If the need arises and I need to move through the states mapped to the single column on a parent board, I could just add a transition from the first internal state to the last internal state mapped to the column. This would still require using the state buttons on the parent board but at least I could skip over the various other lower level/internal states between the first and last....which also has utility on the child board too.

Am I missing something?
