Do not see "Selected For Development" in kanban backlog view

[Michael Aniskovich]

Hi.  Just updated my kanban board to utilize the new backlog feature.  In the instructions here (https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver076/using-your-kanban-backlog-941595499.html), it indicates that I should see a "Selected for Development" section.  There is none in my backlog.  Only "In Progress" in the backlog view.  Any help is most appreciated!

maybe but lets have a look at your actual situation. Can you go into board setting and columns and capture the image and paste here?

The "In Progress" column is likely the first column you have in your Kanban board.  I was able to enable a 'Selected for Development' column by creating a new column at the beginning of my Kanban board with that name.

Hi @Michael Aniskovich,

Those are editable columns for your Kanban board. You should be able to create new columns and name them what you would like.

Correct. That part works - column created (named "Selected for Development").

But does it mean it still requires (even in the Kanban Backlog mode) a dedicated Status for the "Selected for Development" Kanban Board column?

If yes, then how the Kanban Backlog mode is different from just mapping a dedicated status of say "Selected" to the "Selected for Development" column?

Thanks!
