## Description

**As** a project admin  
**I want to** be forced to enable the boards module as soon as the backlogs module is enabled  
**so that** I don't end up in an invalid setup. E.g. <mention class="mention" data-id="75958" data-type="work_package" data-text="###AGILE-311" data-display-id="AGILE-311">\#\#\#AGILE-311</mention>

**Acceptance criteria**

  - Force the boards module to be active when backlogs is activated
    
      - Either:
        
          - ~~Throw an error when boards is not enabled with an error message (done on permissions) OR~~
        
          - **Simply enable the boards module and disable the** ***checked*** **checkbox on boards**

  - Run a migration to enable boards in all existing projects that have backlogs enabled.
