As far as I was aware every issue is related to a project, example being my project of Joe Bloggs would have an issue with ID of JB-1. A board within this project is a view of issues within that project but shouldn't have a direct impact on the issues themselves. Please at this point, correct me if i am wrong.
In my project Joe Bloggs, i had multiple boards; Joe Bloggs Kanban, Joe Bloggs Sprint, Joe Bloggs Initiative 1, Joe Bloggs Initiative 2. Now, Joe Bloggs Initiative 1 and Joe Bloggs Initiative 2 have some issues within their view, but i no longer need the boards. So i decided to delete the boards, under the assumption the issues would still be related to that project. However, this is not the case? Having deleted the boards and the project still existing, the issues have also been deleted. This doesn't make sense to me and shouldn't be the case. Can someone please tell me what's going on here and if this is expected behaviour (in my eyes it shouldn't be!).
