Error message: "This project item doesn't belong to correct owner." project (beta)

When I try to call addProjectNextItem mutation to create a card into the board (beta) that has a reference to an issue or PR from another organization, the api return an error This project item doesn't belong to correct owner.

There are some opened questions in the community regarding this issue:

It looks we can do it just using the UI. it would be great if we could do it using the API too.

Thanks for reaching out. It should not be possible to add an issue|pr from the other org to the project. It is concerning the claim that:

I am FR and I will have a look at it.

Investigation summary:

It is indeed possible to add items via web when pasting a URL. This behaviour is not encouraged and lack of API support is by design. For more context: https://github.com/github/memex/issues/3253#issuecomment-830091875

We will treat it as feature request (and try to get funding for it) and I am not going to handle it as part of First Responder shift.

This appears to be a link to an internal repository - FYI

This would indeed be a great feature to have. Our use case is that we run 4 fairly large open source projects, and have 5 github orgs (the 5th being for central services and repos related to all 4 apps). We'd like to have one central project to manage all issue/pr todos in Github.

Currently we use an Azure Board with some GH actions integration, but going outside of GH is a bit of a pain.
