Tips

When editing a workgroup issue, if you associate a project activity with the issue, the same issue will also appear as a project issue on the Project Issues portlet and Issues page. If you remove the project activity from the issue, the issue no longer appears as a workgroup issue in the Issues portlet on the Workgroup page; it only appears as a project issue.
