When an issue is moved from the backlog to the Kanban Board, its rank is lowered. This defeats the purpose of the Structure.Gantt auto-leveling feature as when the rank is lowered, the issue gets pushed to the future rather that staying where it is.
Why lower the rank of an issue when it enters the board?
Here is the history showing the transition from the backlog ("Received" state) to the board ("Open" state):
Status | Original: Open [ 1 ] | New: Received [ 10002 ] |
Rank | New: Ranked lower |
Status | Original: Received [ 10002 ] | New: Open [ 1 ] |
