Adding Custom Field to Backlog view

[Cheryl Passarelli]

I created a custom field for the "Requester" of user stories.  I want to add this to the view on the Backlog & Sprint Board. Ideally, I would like to list requester rather than the Due Date or Assignee. I have not found a way in settings to be able to customize the fields shown. I have only found a list of 9 available fields to either turn on or off. Does anyone have different information? Or instructions to achieve this? Thank you!

Hi @Cheryl Passarelli 

Please check the following post:

https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/Does-anyone-knows-how-to-add-a-field-in-backlog-list/qaq-p/1756392

• Go to Sprint Backlog > Board Settings
• Click "Card Layout"
• On the "Backlog" section, find the desirable field (e.g. Start Date)
• Click Add
• Go back to backlog (you should have a view like the following)

Best regards

Sam

Thanks Sam, but I want to do that with a custom field which I do not think is possible.

Hello @Cheryl Passarelli 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The Card Layout option does support custom fields.

But this option is available only in Company Managed project boards, not for Team Managed project boards.

What type of project are you using? Get that information by clicking the ... button next to the project name.

Hi!

To add a bit more, make sure the field has a value on it to be shown in the card.

The Bitbucket pipelines and Kevin come from a user multipicker field.
