How to show issue status on backlog

Luca Kleijweg

Hi,

I'm looking to add the status of an issue in the backlog like this:

I have tried a lot of settings, but i cannot seem to get it right. This is my current view of issues on the backlog:

Could someone instruct me how to do it please?

Thanks!

Hello @Luca Kleijweg ,
Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!!

To enable the Kanban backlog:

Go to the desired board and select Board > Configure.
Click the Columns tab.
Please find the below screenshot for your reference.

For more details please have a look at: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/configuring-columns-938845277.html#Configuringcolumns-enablingkanbanbacklog

Hope this helps!

Hello @Luca Kleijweg

Welcome to the community.

Are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project?

Are you working with a Kanban board or a Scrum board?

Based on my review, the Status of the issue is automatically displayed (as you show in your image) only when you are looking at the Backlog screen for a Team Managed project's board.

If you are working with a Company Managed project, you can add the Status field to the card display by going to ... button for the board (upper right corner), selecting Board Settings, then selecting Card Layout. From there you can specify up to 3 fields to add to the card display on the Backlog screen, and three separate fields to display on the cards in the Board screen.

Fields added in that manner will be displayed on the left side of the card, not the right side.

Hi Trudy,

I am in a company managed project and a scrum board.

I used to have the view you describe with the status displayed on the card. But this takes up too much space in my opinion since it doubles the ticket in height. Also i like the ability to be able to change the status on the backlog view directly.

Is there any way to achieve this on a scrum board?

Hello Luca,

No, there is not. That functionality is not available for Company Managed projects.

There is a change request you can vote on for being able to customize the default data fields displayed on cards.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-16556

There might also be a change request about allowing the status to be changed from the card, similar to the Team Managed project functionality, but I'm not sure.

Thanks @Trudy P Claspill for the explanation. I have a similar need and was able to enable the left side Status using the "Card Layout" menu. The only problem the space between tasks becomes much larger and doesn't help visualization. Is there a way to have the status in the right side as priority and other symbols?

Thanks Renan.
