Is it possible to add custom text fields to cards in board view? For example, I am able to customise cards to show/hide due date, issue type, assignee, etc. but I cannot find an option for a custom text field. I am aware that I can add a description into the Task itself however it does show in the board view.

Hi @Anuja Ariyaratne -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What type of project are you using: company-managed or team-managed? 

You may find that information at the bottom-left of the page expanding area or in the list of all projects.

 

At this time, only company-managed projects may change the card fields on the board to include things like custom fields. 

Here is the suggestion to add that capability for team-managed projects, which you may watch / vote for to see progress: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17336

 

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Anuja Ariyaratne Welcome to the Atlassian Community

You can find a card layout tab in the board configuration menu. The two pulldown menus on that page hold all custom fields available to your project.

Hope this helps you get the data on your cards,

Dick
