Jira Automation: Adding new issue to board

[Sam Cho]

Hi,

I'm using Next Gen Jira project in kanban mode. 

I've created a Jira Automation rule that creates a task when an issue is moved to a specific status. 

When that task is created it is placed in the Backlog rather than on the Board. How do I get Jira Automation to also move it from Backlog to Board?

The closest I can see is to set Sprint to Active Sprint but given that my board is kanban, Jira Automation doesn't let me do that.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

The Checklist add-on was designed to indent the text when the checkbox text would span more than one line in order to improve readability. However, it seems that this is not sufficient in your case. It is currently impossible to control the spacing between the checkbox items but I have added this request to our backlog. This doesn't look like a big improvement so we will try to expedite it and offer it in a subsequent release.

Regards,

Yves
