      Hello all,

      Thank you for watching, voting, and commenting on this issue.

      We use this data as well as many other inputs to feed into our prioritisation process. Being able to add labels to the cards in the Backlog view will be something that will be available in Team-managed Projects, although it is not something that we will be focusing on in the next year. We want to share this with you to ensure you can plan out your use of projects within Jira Software effectively.

      In the short-term, we recommend teams use Company-Managed Projects if this is an absolute must for you. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause you.

      Please continue to vote and in particular please continue to add comments on how your team would find value when having labels on the cards in the Backlog. This contextual information about what you are doing and why you are doing it is invaluable for us in providing you with a product that will grow with your needs.

      Thank you,
      Eoin Ryan
      Product Manager

      As an project admin, I would like to be able customized which labels are visible in the backlog view and on the card on the board, so I don't have to misuse epics

       

      In the "old" Jira it was possible to customize cards (https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/customizing-cards-764478020.html). This feature is missing in the next gen projects, please add it!

            [JRACLOUD-87244] Customize visibility of labels in the Backlog view of team-managed projects

            Please amend support for this! Not having this feature in place forces us to misuse the epics tremendously. We desperately need a way of categorising our tickets in our backlog so that they can easily be overviewed.

            Hi - I can't express how relevant and needed this feature is!

            This option should have been OotB. Of course users would want to sort their issues by labels.

            We need this feature in team-managed boards!! We use labels heavily in our project and I need a quick and easy way to see that all backlog items have a label!

            It is now possible to show something called "Feauture Flags" in Backlog Views, apparently imported from some other third-party tools . But still not Jira's very own labels? Not understandable at all.

            And please, if you consider showing labels: Show them all.

            Not "LabelA + 3" like in Issues.
            And also: Not with that small scrollbar to scroll one pixel up and down like in Advanced Search. Bad UI.

            How has this been sitting for this long? Its available in company managed projects. This would be of huge help. Would love to see this get added!

            Please add it, doesn't seem like it would be difficult and would provide tremendous value for your users. Can we modify your code and make a PR request?

            voting for this to be added!! Without this feature, there is a lot of repetitive data that needs to be added to see which tasks are for the clients

            This has been under consideration for over a year? It seems like a basic display setting that exists in company-based projects, and literally renders Labels completely unusable for Next-gen. This should have been in from the start, please implement it asap...

            if anything can be added to this: I can filter by type and see the type in the list, can filter by epic and see it in the list, can filter by label but... ouch! can't see the label! Don't even know if tasks have labels unless I open the detailed view.

            I am VERY surprised to find out that this is not implemented. Seems like your sales team is doing fine selling your product without it, but us developers need this!

            Is there any update on this request? The option to show labels on a team-managed project seems like a straightforward & extremely-useful feature.

            Hey - is this ever going to be implemented? Not seeing labels on board or backlog view is really awkward.

            Added - you'll see how many people are using / requesting Labels above.  +1 from me

            Pretty simple - we use Labels to highlight Customers for whom we are developing features.  Having them on the Backlog view saves us having to put this information in brackets which is imperfect and leads to overly complex / long names and we need to see for whom the listed features are being developed 'at a glance' vs. using saved queries or pre-supplied filters.

             

            Seems odd that Labels (along with type, Epic and Versions etc) are supported as quick filters but cannot be displayed on individual items.  Worked well in the classic and it's a non-starter to use Team Managed right now

            +1 we use labels to define planned items for refinement and other purpose. Being able to see the label in backlog view would be super beneficial when we do ranking of the backlog items.

            It's pretty ridiculous that this isn't already a feature and that this has been a request for 4 years. My team has to manually add labels in the title of tickets so we can see them in the backlog view.
