Hi there, I was receiving help from a very nice community member here:
https://jumpshare.com/v/jAe4ux8REzPZCLbu1JZj In the gif you will see:- no 'board' panel in the backlog screen (for the drag and drop option)- no 'create issue' option on the board screen (in-view or via hover)Very strange! Any thoughts? Thank you!!
@William Fanning if I'm understanding correctly, you're using a Scrum board in a Team Managed project - this is what's causing the difference between your screengrabs and the examples from @Trudy P Claspill In a Kanban board there's no concept of sprints, so the Backlog view shows the Board and Backlog sections only:...and the Board view shows the items put in the Board panel, and the Create Issue button you're seeing.
Based on your screengrab you've setup a Scrum project, which means that the board is actively configured to need to you to setup sprints - which is what the prompt "Get started in the backlog..." is nudging.
Here's my Scrum project example. You'll see that it matches yours, until I hit "Create Sprint", put my issues into a sprint and click the 'start sprint' button. To replicate this in your configuration, hit the grey Create sprint button in your Backlog view as a starter, and then Start Sprint (which will show up in blue like my screengrab)Your in sprint items then all appear on the Board view and I get the Create issue button appearing there also:

Awesome catch! How did I miss that!
@Trudy P Claspill it took me a while to work it out from both your Screen grabs what was happening
"We have 4 different variations of how things work, all called a board/backlog, and that look nearly identical" I think is the answer here on how it's easy to miss 😂
Wow thank you! So as I am now reading is that I cannot change a board from a Kanban board to a Scrum. But I can transfer issues from one board to another. So I think I will start a new board as a kanban now ... but if I do want to use sprints in the future I will need to do a bulk board change of the issues to a new scrum board.Is this correct? I just want to make sure before I make the sprint/scrum vs kanban/no sprint decision. Thank you both for the help! @Kit Friend @Trudy P Claspill
Hello @William Fanning
In a Team Managed project only you can change the board from Scrum to Kanban and vice versa. However, you can have only one built in board with the project.
If you want to have one Kanban board and one Scrum board you would need to create a second agile board of the type you want, but based on a Saved Filter. Refer to this article.

If you want to use just the built in board, you can change it between Scrum and Kanban by going to Project Settings > Features. There you will find the Sprints feature. When it is enabled, the board will be a Scrum board. When it is disabled, the board will be a Kanban board.
Boards are just a way to view and manipulate the issues. The issues are not "in" the board. Issues are "in" projects. Boards use a filter to determine which issues to display within the board. For the built in board in a Team Managed project that filter is hard coded to include all issues in that project, and only issues in that project.
But you can create other filters to select any superset or subset of issues from 1..n projects, and then use that filter as the basis for another agile board.
You do not have to make any change to the issues, necessarily, to display them in a scrum board vs. a kanban board. If the issues are within the scope of the board's filter then they will display in that board.
