When I create a new board in JIRA for an existing project which other boards, the issues from the initial board gets copied across to the new board? How do I create a blank new board within the project?

Hi Sweta,

Create the filter for respective project and use the filter while creating new board. After that update the filter to depends on your needs

You are misunderstanding what a board does.

Projects contain issues. 

A filter returns a list of issues, often with a simple "project = X", but they can be much more complex, with things like "project in (x, y, z)" or "issues assigned to me" or "project in (x, y) and issue type = bug".

A board is a view of a filter. 

So, when you create a board from a project or filter, it is always going to show you the issues in that project or filter.  Because it's a view of those issues.

Also, a board does not belong to a project.  You can't "create a board in a project" because they don't go into projects. 

You can do the "new blank board" though - create a new board that uses a filter that returns no issues.
