Enhanced Jira board and backlog

[Eoin]

Hi @theigor - we've consolidated on this behaviour as it will allow you to see the history of how issues are carried across versions, and what version they get released in.

If you do not want this, you can drop the selected issues into the "Issues without version" card in the version panel - which will clear the versions; and then you can add those issues to a specific version.

Apologies that the change in behaviour here will cause you extra effort. Thanks for the feedback

Hi @Rick F - it's recorded - just waiting for the production team to make me look better :) It'll be dropped into our youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@Atlassian/playlists (specifically the Jira Software product demos section https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaD4FvsFdarR9RNlvUfee_iJ6WKRsRJn4)

I can also embed it to this blog. Thanks

Hi @VINCENT DUPONT - we're bringing labels to the board over the next few days. After that, we do plan to make more filters available but I don't have an ETA on that. Thanks

[Eoin]

Hi @Dave Todaro - check out the View Settings top right of the page. We've just rolled this out and although it's still reasonably limited - we hope to build it out further over time. Thanks

Hi @Raul Pelaez _TecnoFor - Marketplace Partner_ Love a good plug :) Very happy you have been able to extend the board like this! Looks great - congrats to you and your team.

Hi @Eoin, it seems that with the new version an important functionality has been lost. With the previous version, when you created a task a modal appeared at the bottom left and you had the option to add it directly to the current active Sprint. Now the modal only includes the general information. Thank you very much.

Why is the default EPIC selection not unselecting other EPICs? It's soooooo annoying. I have to keep scrolling through my list of EPICs to see which other EPIC is selected and then de-select it... Absolutely awful UX

At least give me a keyboard shortcut or something so I can, for example, select and de-select others with a ctrl+click...

You regressed a feature without giving me a way to get the previous functionality back!

[Fallian Mensah]

I am just beginning this journey but I am happy to be set up for success!

[Eoin]

Hi @Tom HT - thanks for the feedback. We made the decision to align the behaviour of the epic panel with the filter bar for consistency purposes. Apologies for this change in behaviour for you.

[Eoin]

Hi @Sergi Genovès i Serena - thanks for flagging this. We'll get this functionality added!

Story points in Kanban: If I add my story points to display my Kanban backlog tickets, it puts the value on a new line, loads of real estate and makes the backlog just a wash of white dead space. (TBH, this is what it always did)
If I look at my Scrum board backlog, showing the story points means that they are neatly tucked between status and priority - same horizontal line, neat and visibly tidy. Far easier to work with. 

Why can't I have the same neat/tidy/helpful/non-real-estate wasting layout on my Kanban board as well as my Scrum board?

Feels like an oversight to deploy this simple functionality to Scrum and not Kanban - what's the point of an integrated system that allows me to work with/in both methodologies if they don't get the same user-supportive functionalities :-(

We still cannot see the EPIC panel switch on our boards.

What may the issue be?

[Bill Sheboy]

Hi @Lars Morten Nygaard 

I believe the way to see that now is to first enable the epic panel:

... menu > board settings > columns > epics on your board > select "Display in epic panel on the backlog"

Only then will that slider appear at the bottom of the epics drop-down list from the backlog.  I do not believe it shows from the board.

Kind regards,
Bill

[Lars Morten Nygaard]

Thanks @Bill Sheboy , that did the trick.

Looks great, cannot wait to try and feel!!

Why isn't the out-of-the-box "version" filter available on the board (only available on the backlog)?

[Dennis Kuscu]

In a board with multiple projects, some project have a status label behind the title, but most do not. I can't find any documentation on this. Why are those labels there, can we give overall statuses to projects now, if so where do we do that?

[Rafaela Orlando]

sounds good

@Eoin regarding the dropping onto versions regression - taking tickets and dropping them onto issues without a version and then onto the version you want is an OK short term workaround - thanks for the idea, but in general, it's a big hack. This seems like it should be a personal or project setting whether dropping an issue onto a version should augment with the version or replace. Thanks!

[Siobhan Flynn]

@Eoin I agree with @Vik 's comment above - the Kanban story points have always added bulk to the board and backlog. Since your team is making enhancements in this space, any chance this change could be added as well? I know Story Points are typically used in Scrum, but I find several Kanban teams like to use them too.

@Eoin - in the new Enhanced Backlog view, we have lost the ability to see 'remaining' hours when filtering the backlog (which is fundamental for planning sprints)
— The 'Estimate' hours for the filter now show at the top of the grouping, but the 'Remaining' hours are missing
— The totals for the grouping at the bottom now don't take into account the filter (as they did in the old view).

Is there any way we can show the 'Remaining' hours for the filter?

[Eoin]

Hi @Siobhan Flynn @Vik thanks for the suggestion. I know it's not ideal for you right now but in the long term we do want to make a true grid format available in the backlog. I can't commit to a date unfortunately. Thanks again

[Eoin]

Hi @Dennis Kuscu Looking at your image - I think your admin might have renamed "epic" to "project". And the status you see is from the project issue. Happy for you email me direct eryan@atlassian.com if that doesn't answer your questions and if you want to share another image. Thanks

[Eoin]

Thanks @Anna Bayliss - we'll get this fixed. Cheers!

@Eoin This new "feature" breaks the keyboard shortcuts J and K in all major browsers. Prior to this update thats working great moving through issues and transitioning to different status. Now after an issue is moved it moves through issues in the new column I just transitioned the issue to instead of remaining on the column I am in. I am terrified now that this new default is being forced on us. This is a major break for our workflow and I would consider a deal breaker issue for us. My next step is to open support. I have left feedback several times and its still broken. Please fix J and K.
