Use rank independent in two different boards | same project

Celik Vedat

Hello world,

 

is it possible to use rank in 2 different boards in the same project where the rank of both projects is not depening from each other?

 

E.g. if I move a ticket (drag and drop) from rank 2 to 1 in Board A without change the rank (order) in Board B?

 

best,

vedat

The rank field is a global field.  This means that every issue in Jira can use this field and in turn will have some rank value set for it.    This value cannot be different depending on which board it appears on.

However what you could do would be to create a second rank field for your instance.   Note: Doing this would put your Jira instance under more load, as you now have twice the ranking operations to complete on every issue in Jira.   If you have hundreds of thousands of issues in Jira, and hundreds of custom fields, this could produce a noticeable increase in overhead or a noticeable performance impact in Jira.   However for smaller Jira instances that are well resourced, this impact might not be noticeable.  

This way you could call this field something like 'Rank2' and in turn you could then create a new filter for this second board that would look something like this

project=ABC order by Rank2 ASC

By doing this, while your original board is 'order by Rank ASC', you could then adjust the rank value on this second board without effecting the rank value on the first.
