Show Last Updated Time on Issue Card in Kanban Board

[Chad Dahlberg]

In a Kanban board, I am trying to get the card that displays to also include the last time the card was modified (such as having a comment entered) so I know when things get updated with additional information.

I entered this configuration in this screen shot to show the "Last Updated or Commented" but my Kanban board doesn't show this on each card that appears. What am I doing wrong?

Hello @Chad Dahlberg 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Based on your screen image I believe you are working with a Team Managed project. You can confirm this by checking the text at the bottom of the panel on the left.

If so, then the screen you are on is used to modify what fields are displayed when you are viewing the full issue, not the fields displayed on the cards on the board.

For Team Managed projects it is not currently possible to modify the fields that will be displayed on the cards. That option is available only for Company Managed project boards. You can add your comment/vote to the change request about this here:

Thanks for your reply. I did vote for this.

Do you know if there is a 'flag' that can be set to at least be updated visually somehow when a new comment is entered from the cards on the board?

You would have to look at leveraging the Automation Rules functionality to detect new comment creation and manipulate fields that will display by default in the card, such as the Labels and Flag option. The trick then becomes figuring out how to remove the Label or Flag that was used to indicate a new comment was created. Would that need to be removed manually? If you wanted it removed automatically, what would be the criteria for deciding it could be removed?
