During daily standups using Standup mode on the Active Sprints board, teams often need to capture sidebar topics that come up but shouldn't derail the standup. Currently there's no way to take notes or flag discussion items within Standup mode itself.

Request: Add a lightweight notes panel or "Parking Lot" column within Standup mode that allows team members to jot down sidebar topics in real time. These items can then be revisited at the end of standup — all without leaving Jira.

Why it matters: Standups are timeboxed by design, but important cross-cutting topics inevitably surface. Today, teams resort to external tools (Slack, docs, sticky notes) to capture these. A native solution in Standup mode would keep the workflow contained in Jira, reduce context switching, and improve standup effectiveness.

Hi @Ramchandran_ Shivashankar great idea!  I may have missed it, but I took a look on Atlassian's Jira Site and didn't see anything related,  I would suggest writing up your suggestion out there, and then posting the Work Item number here.  That way others can read through your suggestion and vote on it.  

As we're a user community here, it most likely would get greater attention if it was on the Jira Site that Atlassian uses.  

Hope that helps.
