MULTIPLE BOARDS IN ONE PROJECT

Carlota Vendrell December 6, 2018

Hey guys, 

I've created a project in Jira Software and I want to put there multiple boards. I tried my self. I created two boards named Board1 and Board2. Then, when I create an issue in Board1 it appears also in Board2... I want them to be independent. How can I do it?

Thank you :D

If you meant board and not project then find something that distinguishes the 2 apart.

Add the field that distinguishes them to each filter and this would solve your problem.

For example all issues of type bug should appear only on board 1. If this is the case, go to board settings and adjust the filter to include issuetype = bug.

Hi, I mean that, when I change something in Board1 (add an issue for example) it appears also in Board2. I want them to be two independent boards. How can I do this? I mean, I want to work in 1 PROJECT with MULTIPLE BOARDS.

Hi Carlota,

As I mentioned, if your 2 boards have the same JQL filter behind them, then issues in board A will appear in Board B.

To avoid this, do the following:

  1. Decide on what distinguishes issues in Board A from Board B. (it could be a custom field, issue type, label, component but you must have this decided).
  2. Go to your board and click Board Setting(Top Right hand side of each board) > General.
  3. Select Edit Filter Query.
  4. Now add the distinguishing condition to each board's filter and save.

For example:

If I have another board for the same project as the above, I would click on Edit filter query and then update the query 

project = MTSP ORDER BY RANK ASC

to

project = MTSP AND issuetype = bug ORDER BY RANK ASC //for board A

and

project = MTSP and issuetype != bug ORDER BY RANK ASC //for board B

in the above, issue type is the distinguishing property.

This will be done on both boards.

Save the filters and this should restrict issues from showing up in boards they are not meant to because users are meant to add/select the distinguishing property when creating the issue.

I believe this is what you are looking for @Rajinish_Gaddam .

You can find the official JIRA Software Rest API documentation here.

Regards.

If you are on JIRA Software cloud then look at this instead.

yeah @Ismael Jimoh , I'm using JIRA Software, I have tried that endpoint but do we have a JQL to get all the boards attached to a project by using project key or Id

This is so horrible. I'm having the same trouble. I understand the solutions above but they are just workaround, it's not how boards and cards should work. If I make 2 different boards then their cards should be separated by default.

This is an old question but a valid one.

 

The answer is the filters that make the board must be different in some way so issues would show up in the board of your choice.

 

Example

Board 1 filter:  Project = x and issueType in (Bug, Story)

Board 2 filter:  Project = x and issueType NOT in (Bug, Story)
