Kanban Feature Request: Have a Default Project/Kanban Board be Shown

[zaha]

In most cases I only need a single project/kanban board per repository. I would like to set a kanban board as the default which

• will then be immediately shown when I click on the "Projects" tab
• will be automatically set as the project on any new issues

Right now I have to click "Projects", look for the single board and then click it again, which adds up a lot of unnecessary clicks over time.
Same when creating issues, requiring two additional clicks to add the issue to the board. I can also see this made more comfortable by having this be done by #14824 (new issue button on Kanban Board) alternatively.

Well, I can understand your request, but there are two sides to that feature:

1. Those that use a single project for all issues or multiple projects that enable an implicit form of hierarchy - Those are the ones this feature is useful for.
2. Those that use multiple disjoint projects where no default can be set - those are the ones who don't want this feature.

Maybe a compromise could be found, where a default can be present but must not be. If no default project is present, the current approach should be taken.
What about that?

We can add options on repository settings.

Yes, exactly. But a nil default value should be a valid case.

Yes, you are completely right. I wanted to suggest this as an option for people that only needed a single board. At least in my head, seems like I completely forgot to spell that out in the description, my bad. 😅

An option on the repository settings would be perfect! 👍
