Merge Board Columns

Last modified: 17 December 2019

The merged columns feature lets you put cards with different states into one column. For example, merging columns lets you put open and submitted cards in the same column.

Merging columns also comes handy when you have a multi-project board. Previously, you had to use the same field that identifies board columns with the same set of values in all projects to make your board consistent. With the merged columns feature, you can have different sets of values for the column field in the board projects. Add different values from different projects to one column and enjoy!

When you move a card to a merged column, a value from the respective project is set for the card automatically. Depending on the column configuration, you might also face one of the following situations:

  • If the column contains more than one suitable value for the card, then the first value in the list is selected automatically.

  • If no suitable value is available in the column (let's say, this column does not contain any value from the card's project), an error message is shown.
