Prevent columns from shrinking below set width

Hi, 

Is there any way to prevent column widths from shrinking to fit the page? I am looking to force a horizontal scroll.

Specifically, without using a grid. I need to display cards within each column that have multiple components within them.

I've tried prevent wrapping, no luck with that. I can't leave any more comments for at least 2 hours.

Are there any layout components that support horizontal scrolling?

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

Maybe this fits?

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.

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

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