Epics Shared Across Boards Within the Same JSW

JD Lobue May 15, 2021

I want to be able to share epics created on one board within a JSW (call it the master board) and have those epics available on the epics panel within all boards w/in that JSW. Is this possible or are Epics tied to only one board. Thanks

Hi JD - Epics are not created on a board, they are simply created against a project. 

So you have have a master board that shows Epics from multiple projects by creating a filter that does that. It would look something like Project in (ABC, DEF, 123) and issuetype = Epic

If you have 3 boards within a JSW, and you create the epics on the epics panel on the master board, they do not show on the epics panel for the other 2 boards. How do I get the epics panel to show the epics that were created within the epics panel on the master board on the other two boards? I do not want to create a filter to show the epics. I want to see the epics in the epics panel across all boards within the JSW. I hope that helps clarify things a bit.

The other two boards have to have the projects associated with the Epics included in the Filter for the board. 

For example; Master board shows Projects in (ABC, 123, DEF). And an Epic is created against ABC project (ABC-1). Then if you want the epic to show up in the board for Project 123, you have to include the project in that boards filter. 

Something like Project = 123 or (Project = ABC and issuetype = Epic)

It is the same JSW.

What does the filters look like for the other two boards?

JD Lobue May 17, 2021

The filters limit the work by each board by a custom field

Master Board Filter = project = {ProjectName}
Child Boards Filter = project = {ProjectName} AND "CustomField" = "CustomFieldValue"

Do the Epics have that value for the custom field on the child boards?

That was it. Thank you for working through this with me.
