We’re excited to announce a limited private preview that introduces the ability to add additional fields as filters on both the backlog and Kanban boards. This feature has been a long-standing request from the developer community, and we’re eager to get it into customers’ hands early through a private preview.
Today, filter options are limited, hardcoded, and can vary slightly depending on the page you’re viewing.
With this new feature, you’ll continue to start with the same default filters you’re used to. In addition, you can now open the filter settings and add any field that is already displayed on backlog columns or Kanban cards.
Once you apply your changes, the selected fields immediately become available in the filters control.
There are a few limitations you should be aware of.
If you’d like early access to this feature, please send me an email with your organization name in the format of dev.azure.com/{organization}. Once enabled, the feature will be available to all users within that organization.
We plan to accept organizations into the private preview until February 6, 2026. After that date, we will close enrollment to focus on collecting feedback, addressing issues, and validating the experience with those preview customers. Our intent is to incorporate what we learn and move quickly toward general availability.
We’re excited to move this feature through private preview and into general availability. It’s been a long time coming!
