Assign issues to different Kanban boards in one parent project

Michael McGinley

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 on application improvements and a board on SW licensing, 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, apps and SW. Possibly I am missing something very simple to assign the issues to a board. Thank-you!

Dear @Michael McGinley,

do following:

1. create two components: application improvements , sw licensing
2. open the first kanban board and configure->general
3. press edit filter query and insert the following before "ordered by" (advanced)

   1. AND component = "application improvements"

4. save the filter (same name)
5. same for second board but different component

Now by selecting one component for the issue will assignee it to board A or B. You can do this also with a custom field, if you want to avoid components.

So long

Thomas
