Cannot use my new column

Question

Hello, I use a Kanban board and used to have 5 columns. During the last upgrade in November 2021, one of my columns was removed. I went into the Configure Columns page and created my new column, but it will not appear on my Kanban board (as there are no items inside that column), nor can I drag anything into that column.

I have been unable to find an answer to this, and creating swimlanes didn't work as an alternative solution.

How might I put items into my new column?

Hi Natalie - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Statuses that appear on in columns on boards are associated the workflow for that project. So you need to see if the workflow has changed that the project uses.

Hi @Natalie Funaro and welcome to our community!

The things you put into columns are statuses. Do you recall how that 5th column was called and what status was in it? Do you see it somewhere now? Can you send the screenshot of your board configuration page so that we would see the whole picture please?
