"Type" dropdown has vanished from the "backlog" feature for a specific board

Question

Hi,

In the "backlog" feature, there's the "Type" dropdown that usually exists on different boards.

For an unknown reason, it is completely missing for a specific board we use regularly.

I have no idea where did it go and why it appears on some boards while on this board it doesn't.

Thanks Trudy for the (very) quick response.

Not sure if perhaps I wasn't clear enough, but it did work before on the specific board and one day suddenly disappeared, only on this board, while it was working on other boards (all have multiple issues since it's the same project) at the same time.

Anyhow, the morning after (yesterday) it changed back and now it's working as normal..

Not sure if it was a bug or I don't know what but now it's working, so we're all good.

Thanks again.

Hello @Roy Koren

The "Type" dropdown is for filtering the issues based on Issue Type.

It will show only the Issue Types for issues that are included in the board. The list will not include either Epic or Subtask issue types.

The option will appear only if there is otherwise more than one Issue Type included in your board.

Do you have more than one Issue Type included in your board?
