How can I get my Spike cards to show up in the backlog?

Question

I am able to see all issue types used (with the exception of Spike cards) from my backlog.

I created a spike card, I can find it when searching the card number from my most recently created cards, but when I switch to the backlog (since this card is in a future sprint) I can't see it listed.

This is the card, showing it's been saved as a Spike

Cyn did you by any chance find out how to do this? I am having the same problem

Correct, The backlog contains future sprints that we have planned and I can see all Issue types except Spike issues. As an admin, I'm trying to figure this out for myself. Of all the settings options I've found there doesn't seem to be anything excluding this issue type.

Hi @Cyn -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Have you checked with your project admin to learn if the board (and backlog) filter contain the spike issue type?  If they are excluded that could explain what you are describing.

Kind regards,
