Learn how to set up Jira Cloud and integrate it with other products and applications.
Flag an issue
You can flag an issue to indicate that it's important or blocked. The card of a flagged issue is displayed in yellow in the Scrum backlog, Active sprints of a Scrum board, Kanban backlog (if enabled), and Kanban board.
To flag an issue:
Go to your board or backlog.
Select an issue and select > Add flag.
You can also add a comment when you're adding a flag to or removing a flag from an issue. You may want to do this to indicate your reason for adding or removing the flag.
Flagged issues are visible to all members of a project.
You can perform this action with your keyboard via Jira’s command palette. Use command + K (for Mac) or Ctrl + K (for Windows) to open the command palette while you’re in Jira. Read more about Jira’s command palette
Search for flagged issues
The flag for an issue is stored in a custom checkbox field called "Flagged", which has only one value: Impediment. Use the JQL query Flagged = Impediment to find flagged issues.
