Actually all of the project centric portlets should be configurable to allow you to select which projects you want to show on your dashboard.
In JIRA Enterprise it is actually possible to limit the 'Projects' portlet to only show projects from one Project Categgory. I understand that this is not exactly the same thing as it is not possible to select any number of projects from the global list, but can be useful in certain situations.
Sorry but that won't do for device driver writers. They essentially have one component ... the driver. Each project represents a particular driver that supports a OS (and don't forget those ever wonderful special projects for NRE which we have loads of). Any issues logged against a project have to do with a certain version of the driver, components don't even come into play. This is unlike application development where you may have many different segments (components) that make up the project as a whole.
Our Tech Support department still needs to help customers that use older products but ongoing development was discontinued. These customers still call in with questions so we can't archive off these older projects. On the flip side, developers only want to see active (or projects of interest). Being able to select only the projects you want to see in the project table portlet should be allowed for every version of jira. As on jira-user..
Which portlet are you talking about? The portlet labeled "Project - Allows the user to choose a project to display."? How would selecting multiple projects affect this? Couldn't you just add a portlet for each project? Re: Jeff Turner
Actually, all of these: (1) "Projects - Displays multiple projects" Some users (managers, fussy developers, etc.) want to have handy dashboard access to a collection of various projects. We have around 100+ projects in our system, they want to show maybe 30-40 on the dashboard but they do not want to sit there and do (1) 30 to 40 times. Some would rather just use (2) but it shows every project. They would be very happy if they could pick and choose which projects they want for (2). But I am guessing that if you do the code for (2) then that would extend automatically to (1) and (3) as well. All project portlets need the ability to multi-select which projects you want to show in the portlet.
