I am of course referring to this "update": Swimlanes & group-by for Jira business boards
We are very disappointed by this change. This impacts our teams that were using the Group By Category feature on the JWM boards.
It's really really difficult to manage the Categories in this layout. Dragging cards up and down swimlanes is not ideal; the automatic scrolling makes this near impossible. Going into each card and changing the field manually makes what was once a very quick and painless process now lengthy and, frankly, annoying.
Is there any hope on the horizon for us?
