Why does my Jira not look like this? :(

Question

Not the most important question in the world. But I've seen a few instances of Jira that display the ticket status in the backlog, and apparently also have in-line editing. Are these a premium-only features (we're on Standard Cloud)? Or are these new features that simply haven't been rolled out to everyone yet? They are a nice addition and our end-users will appreciate them. I just don't know if/when they will actually get them.

Thanks!

Hello @Brad Lackey

That inline editing experience is for Team Managed projects and is described in this article:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Introducing-a-new-issue-create-experience/ba-p/2212427

The first paragraph of the article ends with "it will be available for all Jira Software customers by the end of December 2022." So, it should be coming to you soon.

Note though that it is for Team Managed Software projects. If you work with Company Managed projects or non-Software projects, this change will not be available.

So it depends on what type of project you are using, for example the screenshot you included above is showing the backlog from a team-managed project which behaves a little bit different from a company-managed project. You will also see differences in functions based on the project template, some features are only available in Jira Work Management projects compared to Jira Software projects.
