Adding existing filter to board will add board to different project

[Luka_Pavlešić]

We are having a problem when creating a Boards on project with existing Saved filter will create that board on not correct project. 

Not sure if am doing something wrong on this is a bug (my guess is a bug a wanted to check on community first)

Steps to recreate:
1. Open Project X1 
2. Create a new Board with existing saved filter
3. Select some Saved filter 

Current behaviour:

- Newly created filter will not created under Project X1 
- Newly created filter will be created under Project from which saved filter is 

Expected behaviour:
- Creating Board with Existing saved filter should created a new board under selected Project X1 with already created columns and statuses from saved filter 

JIRA type: server

Hi @Luka_Pavlešić,

If I understood your question correctly, this is not a bug rather expected behavior

You'll have to verify your JQL query to check which project(s) issues are included/imported through saved filter 

so basically board(s) will appear on all the project(s) whose issues are imported to board through JQL filter

Also the new board does not appear on X1 project means the saved filter does not import/pull issues from X1 project

Hope this helps

BR,

See what you are saying, but honestly I do not understand the point of creating a Board with existing saved filter... 

My problem is that we are using 4 different board on our JIRA on each project - each board just filtered for each team (PM, Dev, UI, UX). We also use the same Workflow on each project which can easily reused by just selecting to share a project configuration that already uses that workflow when creating a new project.

But the new project does not automatically creates those 4 Boards as well...

What I would like to do is to be able to select already existing Board from other project (with all columns and statuses matched together and created) and reuse it for new project just so I do not need to create 4 new boards, match all statuses and columns to be able to use it on new project. 

It is very time consuming since we have a lot of projects but all of them are using the same workflow, same board views but each needs to have their own Issues.

Is there a different way to do my wanted behaviour if creating a new Board by Existing Saved Filter is not doing this function?

I understood, but as far as I know there is no easy way to achieve this

the one more possibility is you can clone those boards, but to be clear unless you change board's filter(copied) they won't appear in new project(s)

You can copy then through Board --> Copy

Refer THIS page for more details about changing filter for a board

Ah, thank you for your answers... 

Really wish JIRA made it possible to do more duplication/copy functionalities between projects and project setup to make it way faster to start a new project.

Especially since I am sure most of the companies are using same/similar setup on all of their projects it processes are something company based most of the time...

If you by any chance have a good idea how to create a new project with same workflow, board and whole configuration as same other project, I would appreciate it. 

Since unfortunately you cannot even duplicate some existing projects (if I could, we would be able to have one empty fully configured project as template and just create every other project we needed by duplicating that one).

@Luka_Pavlešić,

If you go with "Create project with shared schemes" that won't allow you to copy boards and other stuff but only schemes used by the project

In our case we use one of the built-in-functions of scriptrunner plugin to copy project which allows to copy Board, version and component/s, etc..

but it's a paid plugin. if you search in marketplace you may find similar apps too
