Display multiple projects as one on the board

Hello,

  • Is there a way to display multiple projects as one, for a given agile board?
  • We are setting up a board for a cross-functional team, we found out that we can't display multiple projects as one, because we have a separate project for each of our microservices. If we use single project (for example backend) and divide microservices via subsystem feature, can we still attach multiple GitHub repositories to our backend project?

Thank you.

Hello Anna,

You can add several projects to one board, this can be done on the board settings page, General tab or when creating a board (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/standalone/Create-New-Board.html).

As for several repositories - yes, you can configure several VCS integrations for the same project. Please let me know if it helps or if I am missing anything.

Hello,

we use a Board with Swimlanes defined by User Stories from different projects.

* if we create a card "under" a Swim-lane-User Story it automatically is related to the story as subtask. We would like to automatically set the project to the project of the parent instead of, as it happens now, the predefined project is the last one created a ticket for. Is there a possibility to predefine the subtasks project as same as parents one?

* how can we automatically have the User Story as a Swimlane as soon as one of it's subtasks is moved to the board? Goal is to keep the overview with as little uncategorizes cards as possible.

This are little things but would help us a lot, 
Thank you

Hello,

I'm afraid such behavior is not supported for now. However, you may implement it using workflows (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/devportal/youtrack-workflow-reference.html) - for example, an on-change workflow that triggers on creating a draft and compares the parent project with the project of the draft. Please note that there is no way to limit the scope of the workflow for a board only, so basically you will forbid creating subtasks in projects other than the parent issue's ones.

Thank you very much for your answer, we will try it out.
And is there a possibility to get the User Story (as Swimlane) moved to the board as soon as one of its subtask is moved there?

You can create a workflow that tracks when an issue is added to the board (if it happens manually) and then adds a corresponding parent issue to the board too. However, the parent issue should match the board swimlanes settings (e.g. if swimlanes are represented by user stories and the parent issue is an epic, this will not work). You can read more about workflows here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/devportal/youtrack-workflow-reference.html.
