Assign issues to different Kanban boards in one parent project

Matthew Hardy_rf2x5b

Hello! I am new to Jira and Kanban project management.

I am using a Kanban board in Jira, and want to assign distinct issues to specific boards under one parent project.

I understand how to create a board, but do not see how to assign issues to different boards. For example I would like to have a board say called 'project A' and a board on 'project B', and manage these as somewhat separate efforts under the parent project.

Then I would like to create issues and assign them to the appropriate boards. As I see it now in Jira, the same issues appear in both boards.

The Query filter it currently uses for each board is: project = FJN ORDER BY Rank ASC

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Many Thanks

Boards are not containers for issues, you do not "assign an issue to a board".  Projects are the issue containers.

Boards are a view of a selection of issues, so if you want to have issues appear exclusively on one of two boards, you change the selection criteria the boards are using.  

In your case, both of your boards say "project = FJN", so what you need to do is change the question to "project = FJN and <something>" on one board, and "project = FJN and not <something>" on the other.

The something could be almost anything you've put on the issues - reporter, assignee, the value of a select list.  You'll need to be a bit more clever with the filters if you decide to use a multiple-select option like labels or components
