How do I configure a board with the "priority" as a mapped board item?

[Puru]

I'd like to configure a "priority" item instead of status as a mapped item in the board.

Is that possible?

If not, I'd like to create a new status called "blocked" and make that a mapped item in the board to be displayed. How do I do this?

Thanks

Hi @Puru ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Currently there are no configurations available to configure Priority field values as Board Columns.

However, you can use the below approaches for Priority Issues Identification.

1. Add Priority Field to Card layouts in Board:

2. Configure Swimlanes based on JQL queries:
