Display labels on project board?

[Klaus Nymand]

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to show the label of the issue on the board overview page here:

I'm currently on the free plan and just created an account today.

I tried searching and it looks like it's possible but can't figure it out.

Hi @Klaus Nymand ,

You can configure cards on a board to display up to three additional fields. The fields can be different for the Backlog and Active sprints, if you are using a Scrum board.

To add fields to cards:

• Click the Jira icon (, , , or ) > Projects > then select the relevant project.
• Go to your Scrum backlog, Active sprints, Kanban backlog (if enabled), or Kanban board.
• Go to ••• > Board settings and click Card layout.
• Add or delete fields as desired
• .Enable the Days in column toggle to display how many days an issue has been in the board columns.

I'm having a hard time finding the "Board Settings" where should I go from here?

[Ollie Guan]

The board setting is in the upper right corner of the page. It seems that you do not have the administrator rights for this setting.

[Klaus Nymand]

This is strange - I created the account and the project, I even added my account to every group and I'm admin: Is this feature even available on the free plan?

Hi @Klaus Nymand ,

Sorry, I noticed that you are using the jira-core business project.

The functions I mentioned only included in software project types in Jira-software.

Oh okay I see, thanks for the help!

Hi, this may explain my problem as well. I am working in a team managed project and want to add labels to my card. I don't see "Card layout" as on option. Can anyone assist me on how to do this?

@Ollie Guan 

Is this still valid?

I can't find any of the settings you mentioned.

I want to show labels on the cards.

Thanks.

[Ollie Guan]

However, the above method is not applicable to next-generation projects.

[Eli Szus]

Thanks. Perhaps that should be noted somehow in the documentation about it. I didn't see anywhere that it mentions which version it applies to.

And is there any option in the next generation projects to show labels on the board if I can't see the Card layout option in the settings.
