How do choose fields that should be on a work item, for the backlog and board

I'm lost in where to begin. I have two custom fields that I would like to show on the work item in the backlog listing and board card. How to do that?

Hi @Zoran 

Step 1: Customise the Issue Screen by Adding Fields
Verify that the fields appear on the problem screens that your board uses.

Navigate to Issues → Screens in Jira Settings.

Locate the screen layout that corresponds to the type of issue and your project.

Make sure the Edit/View/Create screens have your custom fields added.

Even if specified, the fields won't appear on the board, card, or backlog if they aren't visible on the screen.

Step 2: Configure the board card layout (board view) in step two.
Proceed to your Agile board (Kanban or Scrum).

In the upper right corner, click the three-dot menu (⋯).

Choose the Board settings.

On the left, select "Card layout."

Go to "Active sprints" and "Backlog" and add your custom fields.

Hope this helps.
