Does JIRA retain ranking when issues are moved into other projects?

Steven Rho_vc37dc

I've got a scrum board that includes multiple projects. Let's call them projects A, B, and C.

Right now the backlog is sorted by priority. So the issues from project A, B, and C are all ranked against each other.

What would happen if I moved an issue from project B to project A? Would the backlog maintain the original rank?

The ranking is retained! To follow up from the original question, I had a mix of issues from projects A, B, and C in the backlog. When I moved a couple of test issues from projects B and C into project A, the issue keys were updated to project A, but the ranking remained the same in the backlog. Thanks for the suggestion @Jack Brickey!

@Steven Rho, welcome to the community. You mention you have the ranked by Priority. However, I expect you have them ranked by dragging and dropping in that order and are using Jira ranking system. What I mean here is that while they display as by priority because that is the characteristic you used for ranking them but they are really stack-ranked. While I have not specifically tried this I would guess that the issue moved to the other project would loose its relative ranking and end up at the bottom of the backlog. Now I certainly could be wrong here and surely an easy way to find out by testing one.

I would like to hear of your results here.
