Wekan: Board of boards

Created on 17 Jan 2016  路  6Comments  路  Source: wekan/wekan

Is it possible to have a board of boards? I would like to use it to track projects and thought that if I could have a board that contains lists like not started started testing and complete and withing each list I could have a card that linked to a project (another board).

Hello, I started an implementation for this feature. It's still a work in progress, but here are some screenshots:

seleccion_006
Here, next to the Add button, you can select Import (from dropdowns) or Search (an entire board).

seleccion_004
In the Import popup, you cad Import the selected board (next to the board name), or the selected card (at the bottom of the popup).

seleccion_005
In the Search popup, you can click in the card to import and search with the text input (hitting enter).

I am working in displaying the imported card details, and in providing a 'link' button to the imported board _in the details view of the card that represents the board_.

What I find handful about the detailed view of a board, is that you could add checklists to that board (like partial implementations needed by root project).

Any comments are welcome!

in other words that would be something like a parent/child attribute any board could have.
So if a board is a child, then you will point it to it's parent. inside of the parent board each 'child' just appears as a card which can be shifted through the board as usual, right?

I agree, that would be a super slick feature to have. Video editing software often has such a feature and they call it 'nesting'. I think it would be important to super easy get in and out of such a child board/card and easily jump back to the parent board

@vrms Exactly :)

This is exactly what I have been thinking about! I would go one step further and make any card able to be promoted into a board. This would be a killer feature that is better than trello and could even be a better system than checklists.

I would love this functionality and / or a list of lists
