Configure board with multiple Todo/Done columns?

John Horvath

I have several statues that I want work to be in a "todo" or "done" states (yet still ordered). But the board only appears to allow a single "todo" column (the first) and a single "done" column (the last). Is there any way to put in multiple columns for these statuses? I can't seem to find a way....

For instance I would like to have:

todotodoin progressin progressin progressin progressdonedone

but the second todo and the first done are both labeled yellow columns (i.e. "in progress"), even though the associated statuses are not "in progress".

The ability to delete an issue is controlled by the project permissions.

I strongly recommend that you do not allow it to most users though, as once they (accidentally) delete an issue, it is gone, permanently.  The only trace of it is a hole in the numbering for the project, a line in the logs, and a copy in your backups.

If you trust your users and they understand that an issue is never coming back, then fine, otherwise, consider alternatives - build "ignore this one" into your workflows, or set up a "dustbin" project that they can move deleted issues into.
