Is it possible to move a ticket to the top of the backlog from within the ticket view?

[Kate Morin]

When I am creating a new ticket or viewing a ticket, I would like to be able to move it to the top of the Project's backlog. Is this possible? Currently I have to finish creating the ticket, then move to the backlog and move it to the top from there.

Hi @Kate Morin,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Currently you cannot move the issue to the top of the backlog while creating/viewing it. The reason is that the issue do not keep a reference to which board it is on, a board is basically just a filter and that is how the issues ends up on the board.

@Mikael Sandberg this feature was available in JIRA data centre. Having just moved to JIRA cloud I was disappointed to see it gone.

The ticket is related to a project and a project has a backlog, it seems like a simple relationship and as I mentioned was an option with Jira data centre

Hello @Kate Morin 

Unfortunately, I dont think there is a way to do that when creating/viewing a ticket. :(

OTOH, if you are on the backlog view, you can use keyboard shortcuts,  s+t to move a ticket to the top quickly.

I agree with @David Quinn This is a frustrating lack of functionality that _seems_ as if it would be easy to implement by amending the properties of a ticket to include references to board(s).

@Mikael Sandberg Could you please describe the shortest path to accomplishing what OP wants (in terms of actions within the hosted web UI)?
