A board (space) for unloading tasks on columns based on columns based on custom fields

A board (space) for unloading tasks on columns based on custom fields. With the ability to move tasks between columns based on task rank. 

I found the Comala Canvas plugin, it’s good, but why are the tasks in it not ranked

Maybe someone knows similar solutions? Because status boards do not fit me. And all plugins where task planning is based on time intervals as in Jira plans

Hi @Varvara K_ ,

You're probably aware that columns cannot be grouped by custom fields (at least not natively).
Custom fields can only be added and displayed on item cards.

When it comes to ranking, ranking tasks within columns is supported when ranking is enabled > more on that here: Enable ranking 

When it comes to flexibility, maybe you could use Trello integration? This should enable you to create lists (columns) based on custom JQL queries that reference custom fields. (but it's more like a theory from my side than experience 😅)

I haven't used Comala Canvas so can't say much about it, but you could maybe reach out to the vendor (links are available in the 'Support' tab of the marketplace listing) and discuss your requirement with them 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

Yes, I understand this is not a common request, but I need a solution to work with existing jira issues
