Does anyone knows how to add a field in backlog list?

[jing_zeng2]

I just want to add a filed(start date) in backlog list, so I can see the start date without open the jira ticket.
If you know the method ,it is appreciate if you told me.

Thanks advance!

Hi @jing_zeng2 ,

If you are referring to Jira Cloud (as you've state on this question), then:

• Go to Sprint Backlog > Board Settings
• Click "Card Layout"
• On the "Backlog" section, find the desirable field (e.g. Start Date)
• Click Add
• Go back to backlog (you should have a view like the following)

But if you are using the server version of Jira then:

• Go to Sprint Backlog > Configure
• Click "Card Layout"
• On the "Backlog" section, find the desirable field (e.g. Start Date)
• Click Add
• Go back to backlog (you should have a view like the following)

Hope that helps!
Alex

Hi, I think I can't change backlog settings with my free version, am I right?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! 

I am looking also for adding a custom field that my backlog items have on the backlog view but, even being an administrator on my project, I cannot see the option "Card Layout" on my settings.

This is the closest I can see and has nothing to do with it  :/

I've gone through every item on the settings menu and can't find something that does this.

Does anyone have any idea how could do it?

Best regards and thank you!

Have the same exact thing going on for me on the cloud version... seems to be a 2023 version issue :/ Let us know if you've found a solution
