Desription or a note content on each Jira Kanban board

Would it be possible to display a note or a short description about the business purpose of each board within the Kanban board somewhere, so it's meaningful for our business teams?

After exploring community posts, it looks like this is either not possible or marked for future enhancement request with no workaround currently. Please share the resolution, if someone already had found a breakthrough.

I have the same question:

  • Is it possible to add a note or short description about the board (not the individual cards)?

It's helpful to have details that already exist (e.g., Business Case document; or URL to the online application being updated) that are not a Task, Bug, etc. and can be seen immediately. Maybe that board description would include the URL for the project's Confluence pages.

Look at the configuration of your board cards; you can put summary but here is a link to card configuration: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/customize-cards/

The layout is here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/customize-cards/#The-default-card-layout

short descriptions typically are the summary field in Jira. Option 1 have a single line text field in your project and put that on your card.

This topic is about the Kanban board itself and not the card.
