Is there any way to display LABELS as a horizontal column in the backlog view?

When adding Labels to the board/card layout, the Labels are displayed in a NEW ROW underneath the task name, rather than as a new horizontal column in the backlog view. This makes this report-style view twice as long, and seems like an incredibly unintuitive oversight for a report-style view that is already horizontal columns in nature.

Hi @Chris Smith , I assume you mean vertical column here. Unfortunately this is not possible. As you might appreciate, this could become unpleasant if not unusable as the number and/or length of labels grows. For this reason having it as a row rather than column is generally preferred.

No I mean appear as a column horizontally, but I get what you mean, since it's a free form field that could get very lengthy.  Kind of like adding Description, so it plops in under the task name.  Thanks.
