Why sharing Epics also (badly) shares Versions?

Question

I created a board with a filter that includes all of the project A, and the epics of the project B.

The query that fills the board of project A is:

project = A or (project = B and type = Epic) ORDER BY Rank ASC

This query works in terms of epic sharing (I see B's epics on A's boards and I can use them) but has a bad side effect: the Versions panel shows A's versions and B's versions too, but the last are read only.

How can I hide B's versions or otherwise use them?

Thanks.

Hi @Mauro Bennici,

when you talk about read-only versions, do you say you would like to assign versions to issues from your backlog? I tried the same and got this error message:

Is this also the behaviour you encounter? I think the error message explains the cause pretty good.
Epics on the other hand don't have this "same project" restriction, that's why you are able to use them.

So, I guess you would like to hide the versions of project B in your board. Unfortunately, I believe this is not possible. Can someone else teach me better?

Cheers,
Matthias.
