How to set the number of columns in the board?

[Shaun Han]

Hi,

I set up a Kanban board for my new project, and by default, it has 3 columns "TO DO", "In progress" and "Done".

But looks like the board expects 5 columns, so currently, it only used 3/5 of the whole screen, which is ugly.

How to configure the board to use the whole screen for just 3 columns? Thanks

This appears to be a bug affecting JIRA-only OnDemand instances since the upgrade over July 8/9, 2012. A bug has been filed for this here:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-28889

You can watch this bug to keep informed of developments.

This doesn't affect OnDemand instances with other applications (i.e. Confluence, FishEye/Crucbile and/or Bamboo).

Thanks. I'm not sure how the bugs are ranked, whether by severity or priority. I worry a bit that it may idle in "Minor" forever, as this is a deceptively important feature. Since Atlassian is always changing the order of the admin panel, searching was the only reliable way to get around.
