Linking scrum and kanban

Question

Hello,

I have been working with development team and testing team.

I have created:

3 -> Scrum Boards 
1 -> Kanban Board

3 Scrum Boards

* Main Board -> This is where the issues are listed and from there it is assigned to different teams. Backend and Frontend.
* BT Board -> Created for Backend Team. 
* FT Board -> Created for Frontend Team.

Below Filters are used to link the scrum boards:

(project = "Main Board" AND "Team[Team]" = 4d0bbd44-7c64-4b24-8434-0dbe73cc2c31) OR project = "Backend Team"

project = "Frontend Team" or project = "Main Board" and "Team[Team]" = 07bbc538-0f11-4033-8a9b-2a4c67f4ed43

I have created a Kanban Board just for the testing team because they don't run sprints and whatever is completed from the development teams they are taken for testing.

I have linked mainboard with kanban testing board:

project = TT or (project = "Main Board" and status = Developed) or "Team[Team]" = 2a86432e-f5b1-4d7e-8d9a-db10a88a52a9

My problem is whenever I move issues on backend and frontend boards I see the same being reflected on Main Board.

But when I try to move the issues on the testing board (kanban) I dont see them reflecting.

The cards are same as in the main board and the status are also same.

Please let me know how to go ahead.

@Trudy Claspill, 
I fully agree with you that it would be helpful to have some clarification about names of the projects, boards and filters.

Deduction from the original question, we have:

* Projects called "Main Board", "Frontend Team", "Backend team" and "TT"
* Boards called "Main Board", "BT Board" and "FT Board"

Remaining are the filters (and their content) used to filter-in the Jira items on the boards. If @[deleted]could provide those, we could help working out this problem.

@Dick seems to be addressing your question. My only contribution at this point is to ask you to clarify which boards use which filter. You listed 4 boards and three filters.

Boards:

3 -> Scrum Boards 
1 -> Kanban Board

3 Scrum Boards

* Main Board -> This is where the issues are listed and from there it is assigned to different teams. Backend and Frontend.

* BT Board -> Created for Backend Team.

* FT Board -> Created for Frontend Team.

Filters:

project = "Frontend Team" or project = "Main Board" and "Team[Team]" = 07bbc538-0f11-4033-8a9b-2a4c67f4ed43

I have linked mainboard with kanban testing board:

project = TT or (project = "Main Board" and status = Developed) or "Team[Team]" = 2a86432e-f5b1-4d7e-8d9a-db10a88a52a9

Please provide clarity by listing the board and then its corresponding filter. Do this for each board.

Both a Kanban and Scrum boards only look at the Jira-items you select for them. This means that for both boards, the status of these Jira-items is the same.

Do take into account, as Jira is a web-application, that you need to refresh the content of your browser to see any changes that have happened between the time the window was first opened and "now".

Prerequisites to observe the same Jira-items:

* You select the same Jira-items by using the same JQL expression for both board filters. This is done in the Board configuration - General section.
* You do want to define the columns and statuses identical for both boards. This is done in the Board configuration - Columns section.
