How do I rename the displayed column (state) headings in my data-driven visual task boards?

Hello @danzietlow !

Data-driven (guided) boards pull their lane headings directly from the field you choose as the vertical lane field (typically state). The headings are rebuilt each time the board loads, so any manual change (like editing the vtb_lane table, etc.) is overwritten. There is no supported way to rename them per board.

Note that ootb only flexible or free-form boards allow custom column titles.

Tera, Thank you for your helpful information. While it does not solve my question, it explains the current limitation with the column headings in data-driven boards. How do we enter and vote for feature requests?
