We want to essentially create a native Kanban board. The plug-in components don't provide the flexibility we're looking for.

Just tried it and it doesn't seem to be possible to do unfortunately.

Not really. Appian tries very hard to avoid horizontal scrolling. What is your use case?

Maybe this fits?

And did you try the preventWrapping on that as well?

Just a rich text display field at the moment.

What's in the kanbanCard component?

Yes, that just prevents the title text from wrapping (it shows an ellipses).

Did you try using preventWrapping on the richTextDisplayField?

So weirdly enough, this doesn't not prevent them from shrinking below the set width. The columns still squeeze to fit within the page.

Simply put them in a columnLayout and set the width on the columns?

Sorry, I should've specified, I want to do this without using grids. I'd like to have card layouts with specific layouts that would be impossible with a grid layout.
