First property should be “columns” as in 8.0. Bug??? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/4/40d6941c4a1abf3974b5a4a8e00c6bf6e8dd0a94.png) Cheers, Sean ---

They removed the option a while back in a nightly.

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](http://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)
