KanBan board across multiple projects

[Jesse Steinberg]

We have two jira projects. I would like to create a kanban board based in one of the projects that shows tasks from Project A that has any kind of linked task from Project B.

Is this possible?

Hi @Jesse Steinberg,

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

Yes, it is possible to have multiple projects on a board. A board is associated with a filter, and it is the filter that defines what is being shown on the board. Have a look at What is a board? for more information, the last section talks about cross-project board.

Thanks for you quick response. I figured out how to create a board containing multiple projects.

My next question is as follows:

I have Project A and Project B

I want my new board to show all tasks from Project A that have any type of linked task from Project B

Thanks!

Unfortunately JQL does not have a function that allows you to search on issues in project A and linked issues in project B. You would have to have an app that provide that feature. If you search the Marketplace you will find apps that extends JQL. I have used Scriptrunner in the past and it has a function called linkedIssuesOf that can give you the result you are looking for.

@Mikael Sandberg can you share the app link?

@Youki If you click on the Marketplace link it will take you to a search that shows apps that extends JQL.
