How does the Create ticket (+ button) from inside a column in Kanban board work?

[Roy]

Hello!

Inside our Kanban board, in the column, sometimes, there is a Create ticket button. I'm having a hard time understanding when it works and when it doesn't.

In the board example in my screenshot, I have many other Work type that won't show up as an option in the Create button (for example Bug or Task).

I've ruled out:

• I've tested in different Company Managed Kanban boards.
• The problematic Work type workflow can be transitioned from any other state ("All")
• No workflow automations are set that would conflict, causing them to not show up
• I'm able to create a Work item and set directly to different statuses as well

Any help on this would be appreciated!

Hi Roy,

The issue types that doesn't show up in the list when you click on Create+ from the board, do they perhaps have a different workflow? And their start status in the workflow is backlog.

My guess is that the worktypes I can see in your example have an open workflow where you move issues between what ever status you'd like. That's why you can't create bugs and storys from the board, because their first status is always backlog and that is not a column in this board since that status is mapped to the backlog

Hope this helped

Hello Maja!

Unfortunately, they have similar Workflows (Create from Backlog, can be transitioned into any other).

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

Thanks a lot for the advices!
