I have a Kanban board on a Jira project where I want to add a minimum column constraint like I see in older videos from 2021. When I click on the column ellipsis I see "Set column limit", but that only allows you to set the Maximum work items for the column. 

I'm just curious if minimums got removed completely or if that feature was moved somewhere else.

Hello @Clint Young 

If you are working with a Team-managed space then the Kanban board allows you to set only the Maximum limit for a column.

This is different from a Company-managed space where the Kanban board allows you to set a minimum and maximum limit for the column.
