Create, edit, and delete columns directly on the board

[Anne Finger]

Goodday,

We are currently looking trough old releases, and we stumbled on this:

Company-managed projects: Create, edit, and delete columns directly on the board

ROLLING OUT

If you want to quickly add or update a column on your board, you don’t need to go far. You can now create, rename, move, set constraints for, and delete columns without leaving the board. You’ll still have the ability to do all of the above in your board’s settings page, but if you’ve only got time for a quick fix, we’ve now got you covered!

If you’re a project or board admin for the board you want to update, you can try the following changes:

• To create a column, select the + icon to the right of all columns.
• To rename a column, select its name to edit directly.
• To move a column, select its top, then drag the column to its new position.
• To set column constraints, right-click its name or hover to select more actions (•••) > Set column limit.
• To delete a column, right-click its name or hover to select more actions (•••) > Delete.

When we are looking on the boards we are not able to find the + sign right next to the colums.

We are admins in our Jira envoirment, we even tried what we see when one of us is project admin. But this is also with out succes. We hope some one can help us on the way with this.

Looking forward to the responses.

Hi @Anne Finger 

This feature is currently in the Rolling Out phase. You can check again once the status updates to Rollout Complete.

In the meantime, you can select "View Rollout Schedule" to see when this feature will be available in your Jira instance. Additionally, you can toggle "Watch Release Notes" to receive notifications on updates.

Hi @Anne Finger 
It seems this behavior may depend on the type of workflow associated with the board:

• Simplified Workflow -> Allows administrators to modify columns directly from the board, automatically creating a new status when adding a column.
• Jira Workflow -> The statuses are predefined, and columns can't be modified without adjusting the workflow in Jira settings.

For more details, you can check the official documentation:

Hope this helps, cheers!
