First property should be “columns” as in 8.0. Bug???

Yes, it’s available in 8.0

They removed the option a while back in a nightly. Not sure what the reasoning was.

Locked the column container to 12 columns, to prevent various scaling issues with different column counts.

Not a bug - as @grietveld pointed out, we removed the columns property because supporting dynamic numbers of columns was unwieldy - there were a lot of potential problems caused and fairly minimal gains.

Feel free to post to ideas.inductiveautomation.com if you’d like us to take another look at it, but without a lot of community support we’re unlikely to reintroduce this.

Even if the dynamic option wasn't available it would be nice to have the options of 7-12 columns.

For example, if I wanted to place days of the week and have them be centered I would need to have 7 columns available.

(2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are all covered by the option of 10 or 12 columns)
