Combined board throws error

[David Whitlock]

Hello,

We have a combined board (forgive me as I am not certain of actual terminology), which is a board whose spans 3 different projects. Here is a sample of the query filter

project in ("Project1", Project2) and cf[11500] = "Team1" ORDER BY Rank ASC

The purpose is to manage a sprint across 2 boards where the team is the same team. The problem seems to be that Project 1 and Project 2 use different workflows and when transitioning project2, a validation error is thrown for a field check. The validator that checks customfield 11500 does not recognize that the field is populated, when it is. Is this caused by the fact that both projects use different workflows? Is there a way to get around this issuee?

Thanks

Hi @David Whitlock ,

I would refer to this as a multi-project board. 

If your projects have different workflows this can be managed within a single board by ensuring that the appropriate statuses are mapped to the proper column. This likely means you have one or more columns with multiple statuses. 

for example let’s say 

project 1 : to do, in progress, done

project 2: to do, in progress, in test, done

board:

column 1 = To do: map to do here

column 2 = In progress: map in progress and in test here

 column 3 = done: map done here

now, when you drag an issue from to do to in progress column you have two choices to drop the issue into they should be denoted by a highlighted box where the card can be dropped. This should avoid the issue you are experiencing. If I am off track please share more details of workflows and column mappings.
