Is it not possible anymore to associate a custom filter with a project?

[Jens]

Hi,

I would like to create a board based on a user-defined filter, which is displayed in the sidebar (left) under the first entry and there “Boards in this projects”.

Procedure so far:

I have always created a filter (e.g. all issues assigned to me from 4 different projects). Then I went to a project --> in the sidebar (left) under the top entry and clicked on “Create board”.
Then I followed the instructions (“Create Kanban Board”) -> Select filter (here I selected the filter I had created).

Normally, the board was then always displayed on the LEFT in the sidebar IN ADDITION to the "standard" board of the project.
Somehow this no longer works. I have created a board correctly, BUT the board is NOT associated with the project. In other words, I can find the board under the “Boards” tab in the main navigation, but unfortunately not in the project on the left in the sidebar.

What am I doing wrong? Or has this been changed? Or is there a setting somewhere where I can configure this? I use Jira Data Center 10.3.3 and am a Jira admin. 

Kind regards,

J

Hello @Jens ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

It depends on the location you have set while creating your new board from one of your saved filters.

If you have not selected any project from the location dropdown and selected your profile instead, then it wont be visible on side bar of the project.

Thankyou!

Hi @Shalini Pradhan 

I do not have this option anymore. Even not as a Jira-Admin. Do you have any clue, why?

Kind regards,

This looks like JIRA Cloud to me, not JIRA Data Center.

Do you mean my version or Shalini's version? Mine is definitely Data Center.

Hi @Jens 

JIRA will associate the board with the project is the project is explicitly in the query. So if your query is not limited to some projects, eg project in (X,Y,Z) it may not be displayed in the project side panel. If you do usually you will see it in the side bar for project X,Y,Z.

Thank you for your answer!

Yes, the filter includes the project. I even created a filter that explicitly contains ONLY this one project, because that was also my first thought for a source of error. The result remains the same: The board is created, but not associated with the project. I can't figure out why.

When you do to the board configuration, in the General page, is JIRA able to list the projects in the Projects in board section ?

[Jens]

@Florian Bonniec 

Yes.

But I have found the error and actually think at the moment that it is an error within Jira.

Your tip about displaying the projects correctly has pointed me in the right direction. Thanks ;) 

If I use this filter (this is how it is built in JQL when I use issue search (standard) and simply click on the 4 projects):
“project in (“10101”, “10001”, “10201”, “10102”)”
it does NOT work!

If I use this filter:
“project in (NameProject1, NameProject2, NameProject3, NameProject4)”
it works!

As I said, in the board itself all 4 projects are displayed correctly in both variants. I have not changed anything else on the board. Just one time with project names and once with project-IDs (?). Weird.

If someone has an explanation, let me please know.

Kind regards,

J

Yes, there seems to be a bug. Atlassian should fix this asap! As this impacts a lot of functionality in Jira
