Assign issue to specific column

Question

I have the following columns:

Staff

patron

donor copy

preservation

How do I find the automation to get a ticket or issue to go to the patron column and not the first column on the board?

You'll need to find something that can transition the issues through your workflow until it reaches the right column.

I think I need to question why you're doing this though - your columns are supposed to help you represent your process, but you've given them names that do not sound like they are a process.    Is this really a process?  If it's not, then I think you might have the wrong tool...

Ok, How would I do this automatically? If I have a staff column and patron column and I create a ticket for the patron column do I need to write a code for it to show up in the patron column?

The columns on the board gather together issues in a particular status (or set of status), so to get an issue put into a coliumn, you need to transition it to one of the status in the target column.
