Issues not transitioning from Backlog to Board

JRodney Estrada

Hey All,

 

I noticed issues in the Backlog with a "To Do" status don't move to the Board when their statuses change to 'In Progress". Issues have to be dragged & dropped from the Backlog to the Board.

Shouldn't changing the status of an issue to "In Progress" automatically move it to the board?

Hello @JRodney Estrada 

The current design of the Kanban board for Team Managed projects does not automatically add the card to the Board when you change its status to In Progress.

It also is not possible to automate this with Automation Rules yet, as per

The topic has been discussed in a few posts in this community. I found the issue link above in this post:
