Is it possible to create another row on my Kanban board

[Azizbek]

At this moment, I have:

1. To do, 
2. Backlog

columns. 

I want to create another one below so that I could add the things that are not important even to have in the backlog.

Wee bit of history, the project is old and was given to me, I don't want to delete the cards, but many are not actual.  I want to create some sort row or something where I could add those cards until the project is finished. 


The project uses Kanban board, Please help

Hello @Azizbek 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The short answer is no, you can't add another grouping between Backlog and To Do in your kanban Backlog screen.

The Backlog screen will show all the issues in the statuses that you have mapped to Backlog in the section of the list labeled Backlog.

What you see here:

...is what you will see here:

The section above the "Backlog" list is the list of issues in the first column of your board to which a status is mapped.

That is the default functionality of the Kanban Backlog screen. It is not configurable.

ohh shoot, that would've been super useful to have for me. Okay, thank you for your thorough answer

I saw your other question in the other answer thread:

oh sorry yes, I asked the question in a wrong way. Yes, how can I create another row from on top of the to-do and backlog rows in the backlog. 

Do you mean how can you add a new issue to the top of each of those lists?

Well, to add an issue to the To Do list you have to change the status of an issue to To Do.

Its position in the To List when that change is made will be dictated by the ORDER BY clause of the filter used by the board.

Typically board filters use ORDER BY Rank, which allows you to drag and drop issues in the list to change their relative priority, noting that the issues at the higher up in the list have a higher relative priority. By "relative" I mean that for each issue Jira keeps track of the issue that is higher and the issue that is lower. When you change the status of an issue, Jira figures how to position the issue among the other issues in the same status based on the Rank.

If you want the issue to be at the top of the list, you'll have to drag it there.

With the Backlog list newly created issues will automatically be ranked lowest priority. You then can drag the issue to the top of the list or right-click on it and select "Move to top of backlog".

Hi @Azizbek 

You are looking at your backlog not the kanban board itself.

The backlog is part of the board.

The link kanban board itself is below.

A board is baed upon the workflow used in the project. You can apply multiple workflow statuses in a board column.

You can find documentation here on a kanban board in Jira and using a backlog with a kanban board

is it something that I need to look into in the workflows?

Hi @Azizbek

As @Trudy Claspill mentions, the next board column will be shown as a row on the backlog.

There is no option to add more rows.
