How do I add a custom field to a card within a status type column

[Darren Conroy]

Within my 'To Do' column I have multiple story cards.

The default has 'Title', 'Story Id' and 'Assignee'.

I need to add my custom field 'Hours Est.' to this card.

How do I do this? (I am an administrator)

Hi @Darren Conroy ,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can configure cards on a board to display up to three additional fields. The fields can be different for the Backlog and Active sprints, if you are using a Scrum board.

To add fields to cards:

1. If not already there, navigate to your company-managed project.

2. Select Active sprints (if you use a Scrum board) or Kanban board (if you use a Kanban board).

3. Select More () > Board settings.

4. Select Card layout.

5. Add or delete fields as desired.

Hope this helps,

Note (as stated at the top of the help link) that this applies to company-managed projects only.

Team-managed projects cannot do this useful thing, I have just recreated my project to be able to add fields to cards.
