Ability to add columns/statuses to the Board view of a proejct's tasks

Description - there is a capability to add a column or status to the Kanban boards. We need that same capability to add columns to the Board view of a project/tasks since Adobe is moving away from Kanaban boards exisiting in Workfront.

Why is this feature important to you - Kanban boards are allegedly not going to exist in Workfornt in the near future so the same functionalities the Kanban boards offer would be helpful to also have in the Boards view in a project.

How would you like the feature to work - Quickly add a column and equate it to a status with custom text/headings

Current Behaviour - Doesn't exist. Feature exists only on Kanban boards under Teams, not within Boards under projects that we were instructed to begin using from here on out.

Some of my users have custom task statuses for their workflow and use the agile view instead of list view for each of their projects. They have a view that displays a column for each task status (see example attached).

I haven't found a way to add columns to the new board view within projects and I don't want to create a new board for every project. Tech support confirmed that this is not an available feature at the moment. 

Hoping for a way to create a custom column view in the new board area within projects.

For now, we are using the legacy agile option.

Hi @ashmoresw ,

 

Just wanted to get some clarity...You are requesting this specifically within the Boards View on Projects, correct?

 

It is currently possible via the main Boards interface as a work around but not in the Project Boards View.  From the Boards Interface, you could create a Dynamic Board filtered by the project and add columns to your hearts content.  You might check out the Skills Exchange event upcoming on August 15th for some additional things to look at re: Auto creation of Boards and linking them to the project with Fusion.  

 

Thank you,

Hi @Madalyn_Destafney Happy to help here. As this idea is older than the one you referenced, I will perform the reversed action to increase exposure and likelihood of product implementation. Please let me know if you have any questions.
