I have a Classic project with Kanban board. I added a few more columns. Board view is scrunched

[Manik Kakkar]

Created a Classic Project with Kanban board

After adding a few more columns, instead of scrolling (horizontally) on the board view, its trying to force fit all columns on a single page. 

This results in scrunching all cards. and the board view is practically rendered useless. 

Any way to make it scroll?

Hi Manik - here is a link to a free Chrome Extension that one of our developers created.

Using it, you can quickly change how wide you want the columns for your board to be. And you can change the values at anytime.

@Bill Sheboy  thanks for your reply.. 
the New Gen project actually allows this scroll view on kanban board. 

But I had to switch to classic project due to some other restriction..

So as far as capability is concerned, its defn there.. But I just can seem to find a way to get that into the Classic Project's board.

Thanks!  That is good to know about the Next Gen boards.  I haven't used those yet.

Hi @Manik Kakkar -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The short answer to your question is: no, there is no built-in way to scroll.

If you are using a Chrome browser, there are some add-ons which allow an individual user to collapse and expand columns.

I have submitted a suggestion to add this capability to JIRA, including a scroll bar.  Please take a look and if it would help you, please consider voting for it.
