Sidebar not showing project details if project field is not selected explicitly in the board filter

Summary

If the board filter contains project = <projectKey>, the sidebar of this board will contains some links associated to the project, for example Releases, Issues, Project shortcuts and Project administration. If the board filter does not contains project = <projectKey> explicitly, the sidebar will not contains any links for Releases, Issues, Project shortcuts and Project administration.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Scrum/Kanban board with sample data.
2. View board's configuration, the filter query should be like project = SSP ORDER BY Rank ASC.
3. Create a new filter with only issues in To Do and In Progress status from the result returns from the board filter, for example filter = "Filter for SSP board" AND status in ("To Do", "In progress").
4. Create another board with the new filter from step 3, the configuration of the board should be similar with the configuration in this screenshot.
5. Go back to view the board.

Expected Results

The sidebar for the board created in step 4 should be the same as the one in step 1.

Actual Results

In JIRA 7.1.x, there are no project specific links in the sidebar for board created in step 4.
In JIRA 6.4.x, there is no sidebar at all.

Workaround

Add AND project = SSP at the end of the board filter in step 4
