Is there a limit on the number of issues on a kanban board in JIRA Software like there is with Jira core cloud (1000)?
Yes, from memory, it's 3,000, or "roughly 15 times what most humans can usefully parse on a board".
A board really should not have more than a couple of hundred. If you've got thousands of issues, that's fine, but split them up into usefully sized boards.
Thanks Nic. Appreciate the quick response. The problem we're facing is each staff member has anywhere between 10 - 150 records they are working on, and we have approximately 50 staff members. Not all these issues are active, but need to be retrieved for later use. Is there a way to archive issues not active, but available for retrieval or reporting? That way, we only have to import the 'active' issues....
Thanks
The most simple way to do this would be to have a "not active" status in the workflow, which you drop from the active boards.
Then have another board (or probably more usefully, just a saved filter) that fetches all the inactive ones and allows you to move them to an active status. You could do something similar with a custom field or label - actively deselect issues from the boards when they're labelled as inactive (or only select ones flagged as active)
Can you have a status not in the workflow status? for example for those inactive issues call them 'Inactive' and in the workflow we have 'to do', 'in progress' and 'done'. Can you do that? And the 'inactive' issues don't get populated on the board? And this would be for jira core cloud...
thanks
