Feature: Why do I see a summary on the card instead of the parent?

Hello, 

When I create a board in Jira with features, the cards show the summary instead of the parent. This is confusing. Can I remove the summary and show the parent instead?

Kind regards,

Eva

Hi @Eva Kon-Visser Welcome to the Atlassian Community Forums!

When talking about a "card" on a board in Jira with features, have you added a parent to the card?

In a company-managed space, the space/board admin can customize the card. See the following documentation article for more info: Customize cards 

You could add the Parent field to show directly on the card.
