Allow for Projects to be connected to one card on a Board

Description - Ability to have a single project linked to a card instead of each individual task linked to a card in Boards layout

Why is this feature important to you - Would help in visually planning and mapping out projects coming down the pipeline and aid in prioritization and categorizations in a board format which is often easier for our creative team to follow.

How would you like the feature to work - Have the ability to have a card be linked to a total project instead of individual tasks or issues. Primarily for planner use and setting priorities.

Current Behaviour - n/a - attempting to plan with lists only and outside planning tools like calendars, trello, etc.

It's a clodgy work-around, but in our instance we wanted to do project ranking this way too. I was experimenting with the idea of creating a single 'Ranking/Prioritization' task in every project in-scope and then creating a Board that simply filtered on that task. A single ad-hoc issue could potentially be leveraged the same way. The team went a different direction so it never made it off my idea board, but maybe something to try?

Thanks for the suggestion - I might give it a try though I fear it will get clunky with our group. Appreciate your insight!

I second this! Most of our clients who use Boards would prefer to track progress at the Project level as opposed to the individual task or request.
