Change title of column in company managed project

Gregory James

Hello All,

 

I'm wondering how to change the title of my columns. I've read the article on how to do it however it's telling me options to select that I don't have available to me. I'm full project admin by the way.

 

I don't have anything that says Configure Columns or anything. They are columns in my workflow, I can bring them up there and click Edit but it allows me to change their status, not the name of the column. That's all I want to do is RENAME the columns, not change their status.

Hello @Gregory James 

You appear to be working with a Business/Work Management project. Is that correct?

If so, you cannot change the column names. They display the name of the associated Status for that column. You can't have the column display a different name than that of the status mapped to that column.

Hi Gregory,

 

Should be located here on the column if you have admin access. If it's not there, it might help to show the rest of the screen shots on how you navigate to your board.

Hey Benjamin - I believe that is for Team-managed projects and not Company-managed projects.
