The Issue View in Backlog section

Question

Hi!

Previously I was working on a team-managed project and by default, we have nice functionality: an opportunity to see and update the status of issues from the backlog

We switched to a company-managed project and we wish to have the same view and functionality. Is it possible to configure it somehow?

I will appreciate your help a lot. Thanks!

Hi @Kate Smoliakova

Currently this is not feasible in company managed project. What you can do in CMP is to click on an issue and change its status on the detail issue view:

There is also an issue here https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-23613 which you can vote and watch.

Hi @Kate Smoliakova

I total acknowledge that this problem alone may not justify additional tooling, and that there's more to the backlog view than issue editing - put just in case it is interesting: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you might like the app that my team is working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields - including, of course, the issue status - much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with many advanced features, including the ability to group your issues by any field (e.g., by their sprint), or view issues in configurable hierarchies. With this, you can easily build a view that looks very similar to the backlog view, and allows full inline editing (including bulk-editing using copy/paste), like so:

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
