Project Management Template create columns that can create tasks

Lenin Falconi

Hi, there I am new to this Jira World. I found very interesting the Project Management Template to trak a project I am directing. However, the template even though it lets to create new columns. I have noticed that only the ToDo Column is able to create issues. Any new column is not able to do it. Consequently, my question is how do I edit this behavior so that I create a new column which can create issues? I have checked to edit workflow but nothing has worked.

On the other hand I have noticed that Kanban templates allow to build any issue in any column but lack the view like list and calendar. So if the former is not possible How can I add to Kanban project the missing views that a project management template has?

Hi @Lenin Falconi,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

You can only have one column that can create new issues, each column is tied to one or more statuses in a workflow and it is only the initial status that the create transition can be linked to, it cannot be linked to multiple statuses.

Okey, got lost.... I am getting confused with things that Trello does or Asana..... Could you point me in the right direction please

In Jira the workflow is in the center of everything, and your starting point will be the initial status for the issue. In the screenshot I included above the initial status is To Do. The board columns have statuses mapped to them, but that mapping is 1:1, so you cannot map the To Do status to more than one column. Unlike Trello or Asana you can only create an issue in the column that is mapped to the initial status, in this example To Do. Once you have created the issue you can drag-n-drop the issue between the columns.

You learn more about workflows in this guide and boards are covered in this guide.
