Hello @max 

Based on the image you provided you are working with a Work Management (aka Business) project. You can confirm that by going to the Project menu and selecting the View All Projects option, then find your project in the list and look in the Type column.

For Jira Work Management projects the Group By option is currently limited, as documented here:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/organize-your-board/

It is not possible to add other options to the Group By list. There is a change request about that to which you can add your vote:

Hi @max

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a range of advanced features, including support for issue grouping by any issue field(s).

This is how it looks in action:

I'm grouping by components here, but you can also group by any other field(s). Issue grouping can also be combined with JXL's other advanced features, such as support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
