Epic swimlanes url parameter persists when changing boards
The "Group by epic swimlanes" option is not meant to be preserved across different boards, but when you use the board switcher dropdown, it persists. This is because the epic swimlane toggle adds group_by=epic
to the URL, and if you switch between boards, the query doesn't get removed.
To reproduce:
- Go to board
- turn on epic swimlanes
- Epic swimlanes are now ON for this board and
group_by=epic
parameter is added to the URL
- Epic swimlanes are now ON for this board and
- Use the board switcher dropdown to go to a different board
- The
group_by=epic
parameter is still part of the URL, but it shouldn't be - The board you have switched to will be grouped by epic
- The
- go to another page
- navigate to the original board again (using the nav, not browser back button)
The board that you just turned epic swimlanes on for will have them turned off.
There are two problems here:
- We are not remembering the preference for a specific board
- We are leaking board-specific preference for epic grouping across boards when using the board switcher dropdown
