Hi, I am the admin for my project, but I am unable to modify the columns on our Jira board.

Shivangi Goel

I am having trouble editing the columns on my Jira board. Specifically, I am trying to [move a column], but there is a problem to save my changes.

Here are my details:

• Project Name: Moneto

• Board Type: Scrum

• My Permissions: I am an Admin 

Could you please check if this is a permission issue or if there is a configuration setting I am missing?

Attaching screenshot for your refrence.

Hi Shivangi,

Based on the screenshot you shared, the actual issue is not very clear. As per my current understanding of your concern, I’d like to share a few validation steps (Jira Cloud) for you to review:

1. Verify Board Permissions
   • Only users with Board Administrator permission can modify board columns.
   • Go to Board → … (More) → Board settings
   • If access is restricted, request Administer board permission.
2. Check Status Mapping
   • Ensure that each workflow status is mapped to only one column.
   • Verify that there are no unmapped statuses.
3. Validate Board Filter
   • Ensure the board filter includes all issue types and statuses used in the workflow.
   • Navigate to Board settings → General → Filter.

Please review the above steps and let us know your findings.
