When linking versions to an existing playlist, it shows me all project's playlist instead of only the project associated with the versions.

Stephen Chiu Hey Jamison,
Currently, we don't yet support adding versions across projects into a single playlist. We do have a feature ticket for this as we've had several studios request this (Ticket #11725). Can you clarify where you're seeing cross-project playlists available for linking to a version? Feel free to reach out directly to support@shotgunsoftware.com if you want to send page details, etc.

Cam Langs Hi Stephen,
I think you are looking for use cases (ignore the rest of the post if I have misread). Below are 3 bona fide use cases that have come up in the last month.
1. Element library
Our element library is another project in SG. Recently our comp sup made a playlist of smoke selects for compers to use on our project. He could add them to a playlist in the current project but when he navigated to the detail page it looked empty. Our work around was to make a copy of all the selected versions from the element library, changed their project from 'element library' to the current project (let's call it 'Robots vs. Ninjas'). Then we made a playlist of the copies in 'Robots vs. Ninjas'. It works but cloning data isn't terribly elegant.
2. Sharing ideas between projects
Say someone has done look dev on a robot in 'Robots vs. Ninjas'. We might want to put that in a playlist in 'Top Gun 2' as reference for a cool metal shader.
3. Sequels
We have worked on films in a series, often replicating effects done in a previous film. Often we need to include a version from the previous film as reference in a playlist (look at a shot the director liked in iron man 1 when working on a similar angle for iron man 2). For this we used the same workaround as the first case.
Hope this helps,
