How can you see if an issue from a next-gen project is part of the backlog or not in the issues list

Jon Poploskie

If I search issues and search for all issues, how can I tell if a particular issue (from a next gen project) is in the backlog or not? Or put another way, how can I search for only backlog items, or only non-backlog items? I cannot see any identifying fields (including in a CSV export of all fields) that identifies if it's backlog or not; the status field shows the same status as the first status of my kanban board.

Thank you!

Hello Jon,

The filter for Next-gen boards cannot be changed to display specific issues, so every single issue of the project will be always displayed on the board.

That been said, to identify your issues at the backlog of Scrum next-projects (Both for Scrum and Kanban) you just need to check the Sprint field. All issues that are not added to a Sprint, are automatically in the backlog of your project. JQL function:

Sprint is empty

P.S: You must turn on the Sprint feature to be able to filter.

Let me know if this information helps.
