Items with a To Do status showing on Kanban backlog

Martin Pendlebury

Hi everyone

 

I am using a company managed Kanban project and have a question about the backlog view.

 

I have enabled the backlog via the Configure Board-->Columns screen. I have dragged the "Backlog" status into the Kanban Backlog column.

 

When I view the backlog, I see two group, one for "To Do" and one for "Backlog"

 

My question is - Why do I see the "To Do" status grouping when I have only set the backlog column to show the "Backlog" status?

Here are some screenshots that should help to explain the issue

Backlog grouping

Thanks in advance

Hi @Martin Pendlebury,

That is as simple as it is clever: you need a way to move items from your backlog onto the first column of your board. And that's what the to do is for. It allows you to drag and drop issues from your backlog onto the first board column.

Hope this helps!
