How to automation scrum boards in Jira Cloud?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Issues do not move between boards.  Boards are not containers for issues, they are a view of a selection.

It sounds like you want to have selective boards, for which you do not need automation.  The way to do that is have Board A show status early in the workflow, and board B select the later status.

For example, if you have a workflow that is 

New -> In dev -> dev done -> In test -> closed

Board A, for the developers would have columns that contain status like:

• To Do: New
• In progress: In dev
• Done: dev done, in test, and closed

Then board B would be:

• To Do: dev done
• In progress: In test
• Done: closed

An issue will appear to "move" from A to B with a scheme like this.

Hi @Mary Ansari ,

Welcome to the Community! What are you trying to automate specifically? I'd also recommend to take a look at the documentation to check out some of the possibilities :-) :

Hi @Mary Ansari ,

we need more information about your precise goals. Could you please explain in detail what you are hoping to automate?
