Question about how the kanban board and timeline are connected.

Question

Hi Jira Community!

I have a question about how the Kanban board and timeline are connected.

Our team used to have one Kanban board and one timeline for one project.(A)

But now, since we have different projects(B)(C), we added two more Kanban boards—one for each project. We expected to have only one timeline, so we created all issues not only for project A but also B and C (including epics, stories, and tasks) on the original timeline.

However, now we see more than one timeline, and the timeline changes depending on which Kanban board we select. Because of this, we are thinking about using multiple Kanban boards for each project.

So, I have a question:

Is it possible to move some issues to a different timeline? I couldn’t find where to do this.

It would be really helpful if someone could help! :)

Navigate to the board settings of both boards and compare the board filters of both boards. Compare them and try to understand the difference. Have a look to find out why your epics may not be included in the board your second timeline is associated with.

Look at Board Settings > Details and look for the board filter there:

Thank you for your help.

I understand what you explained.

Do you have any idea of how I can make the issues dispayed on third picture display in the timeline on second picture ?

It does make sense, @光野　かおる. Your timeline is associated to your board and - as such - the work items contained in it.

It looks as if the first board (your second screenshot from your last comment) has a filter behind it that excludes your epics. The timeline requires epics to visualise the timeline.

The last board clearly does contain epics and so the timeline is properly represented.

Rest assured, you're looking at the same data. The board (and timeline) are just visualisations of the items in the underlying project. But the board filters can significantly impact that visualisation.
