Where did the colors go in the Board view?
Hi, I recently created a board system to manage my daily tasks using colors. Few days ago the colors are gone. Is anybody aware of where is this option now? or if this option was shut down with a recent upgrade? This is starting to make me anxious cause I liked the colors for my own organization. Thanks for the help!
