Display Backlog item in popup window

[Elias Tsouvelekidis]

When having the active sprint on screen and you select any item in any column, that particular item is shown in a new popup window. When you have the backlog on screen and select an item (line) it is displayed on the right part of the screen, minimizing the backlog lines. Is it possible to have that also shown in a new popup window?

Is this a setting? If so, I cannot seem to find it.

Hi @Elias Tsouvelekidis 

There is no setting for this, it is the way it has been designed. I think many people would like it to work the way that you're hoping for, so possibly it will change in the future

[Elias Tsouvelekidis]

Thank you Warren!! Let's hope it will...

[Jonnie Gilmore]

Hope so. The way it is now is not good.

Agreed this needs to change asap.

[Andy Brown]

Yep, I agree this should be an option.  We have many users that want the issue to open up in a dialog in the same way as it does on the Active Sprint board.  Its confusing that a ticket open up differently from two related pages.

[David Yeneralski]

I agree this needs changing asap.

It's 2024 already and still not done.

Please allow to open task in popup, as in active board!!!

[Sarah Johnson]

This is so frustrating!! Please fix this!!!

[Vatsh]

Same PLEASE FIX THIS

WE WORK ON A SMALL LAPTOP WITH SMALL SCREEN AND IT IS TOO HARD TO WORK 

[Debbie Wisch]

Agree, I really wish it would open as a pop up from backlog

[Christopher Beck]

I have to wonder what sort of screen the folk at Atlassian use when doing backlog refinement or sprint planning. It is incredibly annoying to use this way.  Especially since we know that they have the code to do it in seconds.
