Full set: 75 questions
Answer options
A: card layout Correct answer
B: swimlanes
C: card colours
D: issue detail view
Correct Answer:
A. card layout
Explanation

The Card Layout configuration is the specific feature in Jira board settings used to control which fields are displayed on the face of issue cards. To make the "Labels" custom field visible on all cards, an administrator must add it to the card layout. This setting allows for up to three additional fields to be shown, ensuring the keywords are prominently displayed for the entire team when viewing the board, which directly fulfills the user's request.

Why Incorrect

B. swimlanes: Swimlanes are horizontal rows used to group issues by criteria like assignee or JQL query; they do not add fields to the card's display.
C. card colours: Card colors visually highlight issues based on rules (e.g., priority, JQL) but do not display the actual text content of the Labels field.
D. issue detail view: This is the panel that shows details for a single, selected issue, not the view of all cards on the board as required.

1. Atlassian Jira Software Cloud Documentation, "Configure cards": This document explicitly states, "You can configure the layout of cards on your board to show the information that's most important to your team. You can add up to three additional fields to your cards." This directly supports the use of Card Layout to display a custom field. (See the section "Add and remove fields on cards").

2. Atlassian Jira Software Cloud Documentation, "Configure swimlanes": This source clarifies the function of swimlanes: "Swimlanes are horizontal lanes that you can use to group and categorize issues... on a Kanban board." This confirms they are for grouping, not for displaying field data on the card itself.

3. Atlassian Jira Software Cloud Documentation, "Configure card colors": This document explains that card colors are for visual differentiation: "You can configure cards on your board to change color based on a number of different options, such as issue type, priority, assignee, or a JQL query." This shows it does not display the field's content.
