Kanban Board

Hi guys, I love this Component so much! It makes Discourse a Slack Replacer, for me.

However, I wonder if we can improve a few things, either in general or for ourselves. Im not techy enough to get the solution on my own. Please help me out :slight_smile:

Any chance how we can display the Board in ā€œfullscreenā€ by default?
This is the HTML of the Button Im referring to.

          <button class="btn btn-icon-text btn-transparent" type="button">
<svg class="fa d-icon d-icon-discourse-expand svg-icon svg-string" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><use href="#discourse-expand"></use></svg>      <span class="d-button-label">Toggle fullscreen<!----></span>
    </button>

This is an amazing feature. Thanks for everyone who has added to it. I have a request for improvement.

I am filtering by tags within a subcategory, and ordered the columns by using the syntax recommendation in the ā€œdefault modesā€ field of the Kanban Board Component screen. Essentially, I have ā€œstagesā€ that topic cards move through in a specific order of columns, which are represented by a Tag Group for the ā€œstageā€ tags.

I have another Tag Group for ā€œthemesā€. Each topic in the subcategory could have multiple theme tags, which are describing what type of project each topic fits into, like ā€œui featuresā€ or ā€œbackend developmentā€.

Then in the ā€œdefault viewā€ setting of that same Kanban Board component screen, I select the subcategory in which the Board should be the default view. Go to that subcategory in the UI and you will see the board as the default view, as expected. Looking at the filters at the top, I see category and subcategory are populated. The ā€œtagsā€ filter is unpopulated. In this situation, while viewing all topics on the board divided by ā€œstageā€ columns, I want to use the ā€œtagsā€ filter for ā€œthemeā€ tags. For example, if I select ā€œui featuresā€ in the tags filter, it should shift the board view to only show topics with that ā€œthemeā€ tag, in their respective ā€œstageā€ columns.

When selecting that theme tag, it correctly only shows topics with that theme, but it defaults you back to the global default view, which in my case is ā€œLatestā€ instead of ā€œBoardā€. Sure, you can click ā€œBoardā€ again and it shows the view I’m hoping to achieve, but it is a bad UI experience to have to click back into the Board, especially for my audience which includes non-tech savvy people.
