Unable to Add Columns in List View of a Project Board

Question

In list view of my project board, I'm able to add columns using any of the fields in the associated issue types. We recently added two new drop down options in one of our issue types, and for some reason, these are not selectable as column headers in the drop down (by clicking the Plus sign in the upper right of the List

Are there any limitations that would prevent these fields from appearing in this dropdown list?

Hi @Kevin Crotty

glad this resolved your issue!

I don't have a definite list, plus I expect this to evolve over time. There's this page for reference.

Best,

@Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira Your suggestion to create a filter worked a treat. This should solve our current issue.

I very much appreciate the suggestion!

But that doesn't really track with my experience. We've added a number of fields to the issue types associated with this board, and they're all available to add as columns in list view. Do you have any info on the criteria by which these fields are/are not allowed to be columns?
