Deleting/Remove Second Scrum Board: Will closing a sprint and affect issues on other board?

Rupert Bailey

The strategy of closing a sprint before removing a superfluous board causes the warning to "move incomplete cards to backlog". I tried to hack a new board filter to  return zero cards on the board, but when I tried to close the sprint (to remove the board) the sprint cards were still classed as incomplete when I tried to close the sprint.

I'm concerned that doing so will affect my other scrum board and move all of those to the backlog in that board. Is the backlog of one board related to a backlog of another? IE will moving cards to a backlog of a board (from deleting the sprint) cause cards to be moved on another board? Can I safely close and drop this board without affecting card statuses on another scrum board ensuring they don't suddenly go to backlog on board 2?

I have an answer

All tasks on the remaining scrum board moves to Backlog section as they shared (in this case) the same sprint. Creating a new sprint on the remaining scrum board accepted all cards into their respective column because they did not lose their state, however the "Done" cards from the closed sprint didn't flow through (as they were obviously closed). On this I manually altered them at issue level to include the newly created sprint so that they would flow into the Scrum's new sprint. I didn't try to bulk change their sprint, as didn't seem possible.
