Flag a work item
You can flag a work item to indicate that it's important or blocked. The card of a flagged work item is displayed in yellow in the Scrum backlog, Active sprints of a Scrum board, Kanban backlog (if enabled), and Kanban board.
To flag a work item:
Go to your board or backlog.
Select a work item and select > Add flag.
You can also add a comment when you're adding a flag to or removing a flag from a work item. You may want to do this to indicate your reason for adding or removing the flag.
Flagged work items 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 work items
The flag for a work item is stored in a custom checkbox field called "Flagged", which has only one value: Impediment. Use the JQL query Flagged = Impediment to find flagged work items.
