kanban WIP limits
Hi
I was playing with the Card view and wondered if there is a way to enable WIP limits. for example if I want to set a limit of 5 items that can appear under the In Progress column so that if anymore than 5 are allocated to this column the item will be highlited in red or something?
Many thanks

Hi—we currently don't have functionality to set a limit for the number of cards that can appear in a lane. We also don't have a way to set conditional formatting on items based on their quantity in a lane (i.e. when more than x tasks are In Progress) but I'll get your vote down for these features on our enhancement request list for further consideration.
Thanks for the input!

Thanks looking forward to the votes :-)

Well, conditional formatting or no, I couldn't get anything to change color (text or background).
Here's a hack work-around (without the hoped for colors)
I created a column [Info]
In row 1, I added this formula
=IF(COUNTIF(Status:Status, "In Progress") > 4, "5 or more In Progress!")
All the rest of the column points to that
=$[Info]$1
In Card View, I added the Info field and it will at least give some indication that your limits are being reached.
Hope this helps.
