Kanboard: Task limits aren't applied across swimlanes

[dlocke]

We would like to use swim lanes to differentiate which project a task is for and apply the task limit for a column across swim lanes. Instead, we have found that the task limit is applied for each swim lane individually.

I was just about to create this feature request myself.

This feature would be very useful because swimlanes are, AFAIK, the only way to get a view of all the tasks without regard for there project.

Like the swimlanes for organizing workflows but still need a universal WIP limit.

Hi there!

Currently trying framaboard which is an instance of Kanboard, this is precisely the point which drives me here.

Swimlanes & WIP limits are perfect, but swimlanes would be far more usable if WIP were calculated through lanes in our case: the board represent the capacity of production of the team, which could work on different projects (= swimlanes) or have an "expedite" lane which should be considered into the WIP limit of columns instead of being unrelated — we'd rather create another board in that case.

Thanks a lot for this awesome tool, super useful :+1:

+1 too on this, I think that after seeing so many +1 it should be pulled :-)
