    Ability to disable "BACKLOG ITEMS" column in scrum cardwall
    The first scrum cardwall "BACKLOG ITEMS" column is never populated for setups, that are not using remaining_effort in Tasks artifacts (linked as child from User Story).
    Hence, there should be a way to disable (or collapse it, like in kanban) this column to gain more space for the remaining Status columns simultaneously used in User Stories and Bugs/ Requests .

    In my case this will reduce the column size from 6 to 5.

    Hi Nicolas,
    thanks for the question.
    The need is trivial to justify.

    Please see the added screenshots demonstrating two states:

    01) card status correspond to the defined cardwall column "Status=CLOSED" -> card is in column 'CLOSED'
    02) card status has been unset to 'none' or any other status for which no column has a match "Status=none" -> card is in column 'BACKLOG Items' with an ERROR of 'can't be displayed'.

    Hence,
    This behavior produces multiple problems:
    a) BACKLOG ITEMS column is almost always empty and eats precious space
    b) BACKLOG ITEMS column can be useful in case a card status changes to a non-matching value regarding column names.
    Example, card is closed due to force majeure situation within current sprint.

    Desired behaviour:
    01) BACKLOG ITEMS column should be collapsed to a 1/4 width of a regular column to save on space
    02) BACKLOG ITEMS column should display a card instead of an error for the case "Status not matching column name"

    I don't understand the need.

    Could you share some screenshots to better illustrate your issue ?
