Not able to find project when creating Kanban board

[Kelly Wu]

Hi, I created a new project and tried to create a new Kanban board for that new project.  However, I am not able to find the new project name in the project drop down.  would you know what might be causing this?

Thanks

Kelly

This will happen if you create a project that you do not have permission to see.  

Go back into administration (admins can always see all the project;s administration sections, even if they are not set up to see the project content!), you'll be able to find a link to the admin section of your new project, go into it and check that you're a member - check the roles and permissions.

Thanks Nic!  Super helpful.  I reached out to IT to get the access.

On a related question, if I created a sub-kanban board under a project, is there a way to create jira tickets directly for the sub-board? currently only the main project name shows up in the project drop down. 

For example, the project name = ABC with its main Kanban board: ABC

If I create a sub-kanban board (Team A) under project ABC, is there a way to create ticket directly for the "Team A" board?  Currently only project ABC shows up in the project drop down list.

There is no concept as a "sub-board" in Jira, you simply have boards.

Boards are a view of a selection of issues, they're not containers for issues.  You do not create an issue for or on a board, you create an issue and it will appear on boards that select for it.

The project type matters in the next bit of the question - team-managed (next-gen) projects have a simple 1:1 relationship with projects, so you'll only see one project at a time.  company-managed (classic) projects work off a filter, where you can say stuff like "project in (abc, def, ghi)" or, to limit a board down more maybe "project = abc and team-name-custom-field = ateam"

What kind of project have you created?
