How to add separate epics on different boards under the same project?

[Asad Rehman]

I created a project, and have 2 different boards.
Whenever I add an epic in any board, the same epic replicates in the other board.
I do not want this to happen, instead I want to add different epics in each board.

Please help-

Hello Asad,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

The only way to restrict issues from appearing in a JIRA board would be by configuring the board filter in a way it does not return the mentioned issue.

That being said, you must add a field to differentiate both epics created in each board, like labels or a select list custom field, for example.

These would be the steps:

- Navigate for your boards > Board settings > Edit filter query

- Configure each board to return only Epics with a specific label by adding the parameter:

labels = "labelname"

- where "labelname" is the name of the label you will add to the epics restricted to that board

- To keep displaying your current issues in your boards, use the bulk operation feature to properly add the labels as you need, selecting the sprint or the specific version of that board to properly configure the JQL query.

Let me know if this information helps.

I already solved this issue by creating 2 components and then specifying each board with each component. With the help of filters of components, now I can view only the desired epics/issues in a board.

Thank you anyway for assisting!
