Defaulting to backlog view

[Mark Heggestad]

Morning - I have access to many projects in Jira.  One project defaults to the active sprint view and the others default to the backlog view(Preferred).  How do I get Jira to always open to the backlog?

Yes, I would like to default it to backlog view as well but hopefully the feature gets added soon :)

Hi @Mark Heggestad I'm afraid you can't set a default view for a project in Jira. You can track the ticket ID and vote for this feature here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-36467

Meanwhile, see if you can apply the workaround as mentioned in this link here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Change-default-page-for-project/qaq-p/415522

let me know if that helps.
