How can I view the Issue number when I group by subtasks on my next-gen project board?

Question

Hey everyone,

I think that my title already is kind of expressive... I am in a next-gen project and missing A LOT OF features.

Specifically, when I am on the board and group by Subtasks: how can I show the Issue or User Story Number, i.e. the {PROJECTKEY}-{NUMBER} of the subtasks' parent?

Hi @Petter Gonçalves ,

thanks for the clarification. Another question: Why is there no option to bulk copy the issues to a classic project? There is only an option to bulk move issues....

Thanks!

Hello Thomas,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

I understand that you would like to include the Issuekey value in the parent swimlane when you group your issues by sub-tasks in your next-gen board. Is it correct?

In fact, the Next-gen template was designed for those users who felt overwhelmed by the complexity of JIRA Classic template and requested a simpler option, straight to the point with fewer options of customization.

That being said, it is not possible at this moment to customize the cards layout or Swimlanes in Next-gen projects. We have a feature request opened to implement the same swimlane functionality existent in Classic project for Next-gen here:

As a Jira Software user, I want to be able to configure swimlanes on next-gen boards

Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.

For now, you can click on the parent issue to display its issuekey in the issue preview or transfer your issues to a classic project to properly display it right in the swimlane.

Let me know if you have any questions.
