How do I move an Issue to my Board from the Timeline (Roadmap) view?

Galen Howlett_8xu8zo

I can only seem to add issues to my board from the Backlog view. Much more useful imo to add them from my Timeline view where tasks are organized by epics. Even if I change their status, they don't appear on my board. Is there any way to do this? (I'm not currently using sprints and prefer not to yet but wondering if the only way to manage the board via timelines is via sprints...)

You can add the Sprints field to your Timeline view and select the desired Sprint for an issue using that field.

If you are using a Kanban board then you should only have to put the issues into progress to have them show up on your board.

I am using a kanban board view and not sprints. unfortunately changing the status of a task on my timeline does not put it into my board. ie. if I set the status to "Doing" it will not appear on my board.

Are you using the Timeline within the Project? Or the Advanced Timeline that comes with Jira Premium?

If you are using the Advanced Timeline, then you must Review and Accept your changes before it will be reflected on the board.

Are you using a Team Managed Project or a Company Managed Project?

In my testing, if I change the status of an item on the timeline, it will appear in the appropriate column of the Kanban Board for the project.

The problem could be with your Board, not with the timeline.

Can you provide a screenshot of your board and your timeline views?

Adding answer at top-level: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/enable-the-backlog/

Go to backlog and enable the epic panel within the backlog view. This allows you to add issues to the board based on epics. This functionality is not available from the Timeline view or individual issues for some reason.
