Find Issues NOT on any agile board

We currently have multiple boards on a single project (multiple teams working in parallel on same product).

 

I know, it's possible to show the agile boards an issue is placed on:

jira_issue_find_agile_boards.png

 

My question:

Is the inverse possible? Can I display/search for issues NOT shown on any agile board?

 

Motivation:

While we need to continue working on multiple boards in the same project, we want to do housekeeping and assert, that these boards cover all issues in that project:

  • every issue should be displayed on at least one board
  • inform board responsibles, if an issue is displayed on multiple boards
    (to prevent working in opposite directions)

(If necessary, I am not afraid to use automation rules or even export all board-issue-relations to programmatically compare them against all issues.)

 

Sunny greetings and thank you

Hi @Hartmut Leister 
If I understood you correctly, you'd have to do something like this.
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JQL-to-list-all-issues-in-specific-quot-kanban-board-quot-or/qaq-p/1247706

After identifying your filter ids, execute a jql with this ids. Something like this "filter not in (10114, 10300) "
And that will give you the ids not present in that boards. 

I hope there is an easier way.

Hi @Gustavo Félix,

 

thank you for your suggestion. However, this would still require to retrieve all mappings board->filter (manually).

 

I think I will have to go with making REST API calls - I'll post a separate answer, once I got the script (not too complicated)

 

Sunny greetings

Boards are based on underlying JQL filters so you can probably identify all the issues that are included easily enough (e.g. filter in (... ) ) and maybe compare in excel or try and extend it to some kind of not in JQL
