Issues List Date Sorting

Question

Greetings,

In the issues list I have added a number of columns. When I select the "Due Date" it allows me to adjust the date right in the table view by clicking in the box and selecting a date from a small calendar.

When I added the "Start Date" column this does not work. As I can only adjust this by adjusting the field by opening the Story or Task.

Where is the setting so I can adjust this directly from the table?

Please Note: If the "Start Date" can not be adjusted right from the table, which of the other date fields can I add to a table that would allow this needed functionality?

Thank You

Thank you for clarifying, as that is the list / issues view from the other project types (and not Jira Work Management).

Many fields cannot be edited inline yet in that view.  And, that view is relatively new and evolving quickly.

I recommend watching / voting for these suggestions to add more fields for inline edit, and watching the blog of weekly updates to see changes approaching soon:

Thank you for replying ......

These are the columns ... Start Date wont allow adjustments in the List View table format.

Hi @Raymond A Rondeau -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Are you trying this with the List view in a Jira Work Management (JWM) project?

If so, I just tried that and it worked for me for the built-in Start date and Due date fields with both a company-managed and team-managed JWM project.

Would you please post an image of the list showing the column headings?  That may indicate if there is another field being used than the built-in ones.

Kind regards,
Bill
