How to clear old items out of the "Done" column

[Robert Morel]

As Casi said, Issues in the Done column will have a green tick and will be archived after 14 days. Not ideal but at least it stops the board getting too big.

[Ellen Burns]

I think the core of the frustration around this is that it takes teams varying lengths of time to make a board "too big." In 14 days, our Next-Gen board definitely gets too big for us. For a different team that works on a different product, 14 days might be optimal. A lot of teams on sprints are on two-week sprints, so maybe that's why Atlassian decided to go with that 14-day clear window. But a lot of people aren't on two-week sprints.

Based on the lack of response, I'm getting the feeling that Atlassian designed next-gen for a specific type team and a specific type of product. Too bad that my team and our product doesn't fit in that box. I like the other features in Next-Gen a lot, but I'll probably switch us back to Classic.

[Robert Morel]

Yes it would be helpful to have control over this on next gen boards. I feel like next gen boards are geared towards small teams with minimal requirements and workload. At a certain point when more advanced functionality is required it is expected that teams will move on to advanced or traditional boards.

When my manager asks me for more features like this I tell him that yes it is possible but we will need to migrate to traditional boards. As you can imagine 100% of the time this means the feature request is dropped as it is too much work.

[Ivan Moskalev]

I'm afraid that judging by the lack of replies here, the Next-gen project is ditched.

[John Young]

I reluctanctly agree.

Hi everyone, my dearest apologies for the delay in updating you guys on this issue. I've been busy shipping new features to the roadmap, some exciting news to be shared next Tuesday! 

In the meantime, our team has been busy working on solving this problem for you. As a matter of fact, we're trying to solve this more holistically across board, backlog, and roadmap. We've got some prototypes in place and we'd love to get your input.

If you're interested, please find some time here. As a thank you for your time, we'll provide $100 giftcard. We'll only be taking 3 participants by next Wednesday, so sign up! 

Update : interview slots have now filled up and closed.

Any update on this? Not being able to remove done items is going to have a move away from NextGen projects.

[Elena Vladimirova]

We actually bit the bullet and enabled Sprints though we don't use them for that specific team (it's a business team, not a dev team). The slowness is still there though :/
