VSTS will not show one of my product backlog item in the board

I am using VSTS with a Scrum template. This template has no customization, except the Backlog Items Board where I have the following columns:

My problem is that I have a Product Backlog Item #143 that won't show up on the board and I can't explain why. It is visible in the backlog, but not in the board.

Here is the Product Backlog Item #143 that is not visible in the board: Does not show up The Child items are only Tasks and Bugs. The parent is a Feature.

Here is another Product Backlog Item #148 that shows up on the board: Shows up Here you can see the board, the item #143 is not visible, but #148 is: enter image description here

I tried to change the status of #143 from 'Approved' to 'New', back and forth but ; I also tried to remove it from the iteration and put it back but it did not help. Do you have any idea what to do?

It depends how you configured the setting "Working with Bugs". I can see that you have set this to "Bugs are managed with requirements.", because the bugs are appearing on the board. With this setting bugs behave exactly like PBIs and the boards don't link nested work items on the same level. In those cases only the "deepest" work items show up on the board. Those are your bugs 210 and 212.

With the setting above you must not link work items on the same level (in this case PBI and Bug) with a parent/child link. If you want to associate Bugs with PBIs you have to use a "Related"-link or maybe "Predecessor".
