Constantly prompted to 'Create new Kanban backlog'

noname noname_wdergw

I have a very large Kanban board within a single project that I've been using for a few years now. From the first day, it has had a column titled 'Backlog' which is a column I used for incoming, yet unassigned work.

As of a few months ago, I began getting prompted to:

Kanban Backlog

This column is getting full. Want an easier way to manage it?

Well, I don't really want to change the board at all or I risk losing board customizations or impacts to the team workflow. As of today, there aren't more than 20 requests in my current Backlog column, so I'm unsure why it thinks it's full. Secondly, how can I get this nagging prompt to go away without changing my Board?

I haven't been bugged by this in some time. However, i recall it used to happen to me and I want to believe there was an option presented to 'stop notifying me' but I can't test that. By in large I have elected to use the backlog as IMO it is the only reasonable way to manage a big backlog and set priorities of what to work on next. So you may want to bite the bullet and try it. you can alway disable it later and switch back. In fact I wonder if by switching back it will stop asking? :-)

Mucho appreciado!

Just for those who may wonder. It does not stop asking if you switch back.

I am also annoyed by this notification. I would like to request that Atlassian develop a way to tell it to "stop notifying me". Since it doesn't appear that I can do that, I did something super hacky. I have a CSS browser extension that allows me to lay custom CSS over any website, and I found that container and set it to

.aui-inline-dialog-contents {display:none;}

Ugh. Annoying notification solved.

Over 5 years since this post was first published. There is NO excuse WHATSOEVER to not have a "Don't ask again" button for this message. I get it every week and it shows Atlassian's complete disregard for the annoyance this causes their customers. But this is certainly not the only annoying thing Atlassian refused to fix.

Thank you @Emily Taege, I added that to my StyleBot extension code and it does work.
