How to archive issues which should not be Done/Resolved in Next Gen Project Board?

Question

I'm looking to archive tasks which ended up being dead ends/put into purgatory and want to keep them off my kanban to keep things clean.

I do not use sprints/epics/backlogs on the board and due to how the boards are designed, the right-most column will always be the official "done" one, so I can't even de-clutter by putting the things that aren't to have attention paid to them off to the side and out of the middle of the board.

What options exist in this case? Are any of them free/don't require any kind of admin/security review (built in, not plugin) or a paywall?

Yeah, this isn't a big enough deal to warrant interaction with another board/that much more complexity. Maybe 1-5% of tickets end up going this route and we already managed to have a pretty streamlined flow without the need for things like epics, etc.

Classic boards are also controlled by company admin rather than the individual, which means any changes that need to be made are gonna be a protracted, painstaking process.

Yeah this is just for POW/historic purposes more than anything else - we still do analysis on tasks which are from churned projects/customers.

We have a sort of "temp-purgatory" column for things that are just pending issue resolution or negotiation and can easily be brought back to life/moved to another column to reinitiate work, but for things which are due to projects/customers becoming dead in the water, we don't want to lose all the history entirely, just wanna hide it out of view of the board.
