I find that the Epic label is something that could be potentially really useful on a board - as it provides more context to the title of the card. However, the epic label is limited to just the length of the column, which I find then renders the Epic label useless as its truncated too much. (It can also be the same for the title of the issue on the card.)
At the moment I get around this by a local CSS over ride which allow the EPIC to word wrap. The column stays the same width, the card gets a little longer, but the whole epic is displayed and the card just makes more sense as a result. (Also the whole issue title is displayed too)
I'm interested in whether others have found the same issue and if anyone has found another solution. My solution is ok for me - I have to open up Developer mode to enable the override - but I'm interested if there is anything better out there.
