Show Custom Field on Board (Jira Classic Project Management Template)

[Brennan Nunamaker]

Hello,

I have a JIRA business project that uses the project management template to organize work for multiple clients in one board with my business partner.

I've added a custom drop-down field with a list of our clients to allow for more structured reporting, as each task gets marked with the relevant client for that task.

I would like to display this field on the individual cards in the board (and/or list) views, but I can't find a configuration option. For Scrum / Kanban it's easy, you configure the board settings and voilà. 

Is it not possible to configure the display of custom fields on business boards? 

Thanks in advance!

Brennan

Very simple, read the release sheet to make sure you don't lose anything you need, make sure your most important plugins are still uspported, read the upgrade guide, take a full backup of filesystem and database and do the upgrade when everyone is offline. It's such a tiny step it will be easy.
