Make parent group milestones also available as a scope for subgroup boards.

Problem to solve

Currently, parent group milestones are only available on a project board within a subgroup. The subgroup board does not have the option to scope boards by parent group milestones. This makes it difficult for a dev team, who works on multiple projects/repositories within the same milestone, to see a comprehensive subgroup board of all issues across multiple projects scoped by the parent milestone.

Following steps highlight the missing scope options:

  1. Create a milestone "Sprint 1" for Parent Group
  2. Within Subgroup of Parent Group, add Parent milestone "Sprint 1" to a Project
  3. In the Subgroup, not project, open the Boards page.
  4. On the Subgroup Boards page, create a custom board and expand scope options. The only options available are "Any Milestone, No Milestone, Upcoming, Started." The Parent milestone "Sprint 1" is not available.

Intended users

Any user who has permissions to create/edit subgroup boards.

Further details

User Objective: Create a subgroup board filtered by "Sprint 1" showing issues across multiple projects within a subgroup.

Proposal

Add parent milestones as scope options on a subgroup board. This option already exists for projects within a subgroup.
