How do I shrink story cards in SCRUM Board

Neil Swartz

Our story card are large and just got larger with Sever 8.0.

We want to show the story points, hours logged, percent complete, priority, etc.

These could be mostly on 1-2 lines but here is what it looks like. The hours spent, percent complete and story points are on 3 lines. Could all be on the last line.

How can we configure that? Why doesn't it do that automatically?

Hello Neil,

The size of the cards on a SCRUM and Kanban board is static size by default. There are add-ons which do allow for reducing the size of your cards on a board. The add-ons would be the fastest and easiest option to apply and manage moving forward. You may find the add-ons at a preset search for Atlassian Marketplace | Compact Cards.

Additionally, there is a feature request to allow for control of card size. You may find this feature request at JSWSERVER-5200. We would suggest you vote and watch this request to receive future updates.

I hope this proves helpful in reducing the size of your issue cards.

Regards,
