Enable the backlog

[Akira Mitchell]

I'm trying to turn on the backlog for the Scrum board in the classic version of jira. 

With other projects I've seen it prompted, this time its not and I can't see any items in the backlog - only on the active board when I add a regular column. 

I'm looking to add the backlog column in the classic project.

Hi, @Akira Mitchell !

Put your "Backlog"-status into "To Do"-column, like on my screen. 

After that you can see issues in you backlog-tab:

For more information sending you official documentation.

Check it please, if it doesn't help - let me know.

Hey @Alexander Bondarev , thanks for reaching out. 

Unfortunately, that makes the entire backlog in the todo column once we start the sprint which is something I want to avoid at all costs. 

If I'm incorrect about this - please let me know and I'll be happy to add it

@Alexander Bondarev I was wrong! Just tested it! thank you very much!
