Kanban board showing all unresolved issues across projects except those in scrum backlogs

Question

If all projects were scrum-based, it would be easy enough to use "Sprint in openSprints()", but some projects are not scrum-based, which means there doesn't appear to be a way, by default, to include "open" issues from non-scrum projects while excluding backlog "open" issues from scrum projects.

My first thought was to use a different workflow/status for backlogged issues: Create -> backlog status. When adding an issue to a sprint, I would want the status to change to "open." But I want to be able to take advantage of plan mode, without requiring a "backlog" column in work mode. So is there any way to hook a status change on the movements back and forth between backlog and sprints in plan mode?

It seems like I'd then still need to have a backlog column in work mode. And I want to avoid needing to have at least two boards for every project - one for sprint planning and another for working.

Can anyone offer better suggestions for this?

Thank you!

Thanks, Eddie – I didn't know about futureSprints() – but I think it's true that it doesn't move me further towards my goal because the fundamental issue is how to exclude issues that are "open and in backlog of scrum-based project," while including any issues that are "open" in any non-scrum-based projects.

Not sure how much farther it gets you, but theire is also the ability to search future sprints/

Maybe you can do what you want by using an inverse search on future sprints.

not(sprint in futureSprints())

So to exclude all non-open Scrum tickets, I would think:

not sprint in futureSprints() and (sprint in openSprints() or sprint is empty) and resolution = Unresolved
