Next-gen project only showing items in "To Do" status in the backlog.

[Shane Kremer]

We just migrated from ClickUp to Jira and there were many items that were in various statuses.

Our project in Jira is a next-gen project and items have to be manually moved to the board (which I find pretty annoying) to show up. After the migration there are tons of items that are in progress, review, etc. that are in the backlog. I need to move these items to the board, but our backlog is only showing items that are in "To-Do".

How can we get our backlog to show items in all statuses and not just the ones in "To-Do". We also have a status called "Discovery", which aren't ready to be assigned. We need items in all statuses to show on the backlog view.

Hi,

You can use Adaptivist ScriptRunner plugin to create a Script Field (HTML) that creates a button with /jira/secure/CreateSubTaskIssue!default.jspa?parentIssueId=$parentIssueId

Then add it to the view screen of your (parent) issue. :) Here is an example, if a contact person issue type was of a sub-task type:

def baseurl = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getApplicationProperties().getString("jira.baseurl")

String contactPersonIssueTypeId = "11002" //Contact Person
def subtaskCreationUrl = baseurl+"/secure/CreateSubTaskIssue!default.jspa?parentIssueId="+issue.getId()+"&issuetype="+contactPersonIssueTypeId
String createSubtaskLinkLabel = "Add contact person"
String createSubtaskLinkTitle = "Add a new Contact Person for this issue"

def completeLink = "<a id='create_link' class='aui-button aui-button-primary aui-style custom-create-link' title='"+createSubtaskLinkTitle+"' href='"+subtaskCreationUrl+"'>"+createSubtaskLinkLabel+"</a>"
return completeLink

@Puján Z this works like charm, thanks :)

If you create a button which calls /jira/secure/CreateSubTaskIssue!default.jspa?parentIssueId=>Your parent Issue<, the create dialog should open

Hi,

Indeed, the link is perfect, but I am wondering how to add a button.

Many thanks!

In this case i'm not sure about any easier ways, but you could create a Web Panel Plugin Module with the location set to "atl.jira.view.issue.left.context". This would provide you with a new panel in the issue details view, which you could either use as location for your button or as a way of injecting some Javascript, which could place a button somewhere next to the other buttons in the upper area of the page.
