How to add issues to a next-gen kanban board?

Question

Please help me add issues to my kanban board in a next-gen project.

So far I can go the Backlog, click the action button, and add to board.

1. But how do I do add to the board from an existing issue?

2. And how can I add an issue from the kanban board itself?

This seems so basic so forgive me if I'm overlooking something.

Thanks for sharing, looks like I will likely have to do the same

I gave up on this. I couldn't change a backlog issue from "todo" to "in progress" and have it appear on the kanban board.

My workaround was to create a "backlog" kanban column and move the issues there and turn off the backlog feature. Which is a shame because there are a lot of issues there and I wanted a focused board.

Thanks for that link. It looks like Kanplan is what I'm after.  I like having the Backlog screen as a better way to see/triage/manage all issues not immediately prioritised.

What I'm trying to achieve is to keep the Kanban board focused. I don't want to have 100+ issues in a todo/backlog column on the board. It is too hard to easily see and the Backlog view is much nicer.

I guess what I'm looking for is this:

Issues have states like Todo / In Progress / Done.

Would it be possible to have a state "Backlog" that is *not* shown on the board.  If I changed the state to "todo" it would appear on the board.  If I changed to "backlog" it would be removed from the board.

Is something like that possible?
