How Can Distinguish Between Backlog and Board Tickets in Next-Gen Project?

Vanessa Chatarjee

Hi Everyone,

In the next-gen project, I see the 'To Do' status for tickets, in the Backlog and the Board, how can I distinguish between the two in a filter easily?

The only way I could do this, was by assigning a story point or finding a common feature to add to the Board tickets vs. the Backlog tickets. 

Ex. All tickets in Board have story pt estimate = 1, All tickets in Backlog story pt estimate is empty

Any other better way to get this distinction?

Hi Vanessa,

I understand that you are looking to understand how to see in a JQL filter which issues in a next-gen project are on the board and which are in the backlog.  For a next-gen project when an issue gets moved onto the board, this is the equivalent of being placed into a sprint.   Issues that exist in the backlog are not yet in any sprint.

In turn we can search for these in advanced JQL by looking like so:

project=ABC and sprint is empty

^ will return all the issues in that project that are in the backlog (have no sprint).  While the query of:

project=ABC and sprint is not empty

^ will return issues in that project that are on the board (already part of a sprint).

 

I hope this helps.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
