Setting a default opening page in JIRA Desktop App for Mac

[Steve Larson]

Hello, I've just installed the JIRA Application for Mac OS Catalina. When I open the app, it automatically opens to the Projects Page(Screen shot 1). I want it to open directly to a specific planning board(Screen shot 2), but to do so, I must choose a random project, then go to the dropdown in the upper left of the window to select a board. Is there any way to set this board as default?

Hi Steve,

I understand that when you start the Jira app for Mac that it does not appear to be defaulting that first page to the last board you were using.  So far I have not been able to recreate this problem. 

However I should note that I did get an update to my app this morning.  Currently I'm running Version 109.0.0 (109.0.349).  I would be interested to see which version of this app you are running.  You can find this when the app is open by going to the toolbar -> Jira -> About Jira.

In my version I have found that once I navigate to the board I want and then close the app, the next time I load the app, that board is the first page it takes me to.  So perhaps there was a bug here, but I'd be curious to learn more about your environment here to see if this can be resolved by the latest update or not.  Please let me know.
