Some months ago I created a new Agile Board that includes multiple Projects. Here's the board filter:
project in (proj1, proj2, proj3, proj4, proj9) AND status != Closed ORDER BY Rank ASC
Pretty straighforward.
Recently folks have had difficulty navigating to the Project view for these projects. They are shown the Agile Board instead of the Project screens. I've also noticed this with multi-project boards created by others (it's not just my board).
To reproduce:
- Pick two projects that are not on any multi-project Agile Board in your system already. Confirm that you can see the Project (Sprint view and Backlog view specifically) using the Projects menu in JIRA for those two projects.
- Create a new Agile Board, starting the filter query with "project in (proj1, proj2) ...". Share the filter with "logged in users". Save that Agile Board.
- Try again to navigate to either of those projects using the Projects menu in JIRA. The new Agile Board will take over, and you won't be able to see the Project screens for Sprint or Backlog view.
- Optionally check with a non-admin JIRA user to confirm this behavior.
- Delete the Agile Board so that you don't annoy your coworkers.
This is a problem because these multi-project Agile Boards should be independent of the individual products. My job scope includes 4 projects, but not all 9 projects in this Board. The result is that the other 5 projects cannot see their Project view any more, JIRA routes them instead to my Agile Board.
I've read plenty here that reinforces that "Boards are independent of Projects". I've scoured my Board settings and don't see anything that would cause this.
Is this some known "feature" of JIRA? It feels like a bug to me.
