Missing work items on Kanban board after team change

Good morning,

after some problem with my project team configuration I decided to create a new team and delete the old one. At this point I'm not able to see work items on the Kanban Boards but only on "Work Items" menu. How to restore all the work items on Kanban board?

This is the actual situation

Solution

  • Missing work items on Kanban board after team change

    That because you created a new team, it has a default Area path. This default Area path is different from the default Area path of your old team. Therefore, the Area path of the workitems you created on the old team are the default Area path of the old team, and it will not be displayed in the new team's broads. This is the cause of your issue.

    To resolve this issue, we could change the area path of the workitems:
