How do I create a sprint with tasks from multiple projects/boards?

Question

I work for a company that creates apps.  Each of the apps has a separate board.  We have a small team and  need to work on a few bugs from one app, while creating a feature for another.  How can I add tasks from multiple projects/boards to a single sprint?

Hi Ray,

same problem here. The problem maybe your filter JQL. Do you only select projects or something like tags, epic links a.s.o.?

See https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/using-manage-sprints-permission-for-advanced-cases-800708249.html for more information.

I know that this is an older thread.  I have somewhat of the same issue.  I manage multiple teams that support multiple departments.  I can create the filter as in the answer, but when i go across multiple projects, the create sprint & complete sprint will gray out and the team members can no longer manage the sprint.  For some reason my account does not have that affect.  Maybe because i am an admin and they are users.  I need a way to be able to have the filter span all projects and allow my team to be able to create the sprints.
