If you have not tried the New Boards Hub yet, please do. We appreciate and need your feedback to ensure the New Boards Hub is ready for prime time to replace the existing hub. Feel free to email me with any issues you find.
Like the new board but a few issues I noticed:
p.s. None of the above issues are apparent in the old view.
I have turned off the new boards hub preview for 1 specific layout issue. Our board has 7 columns on it. With the preview on, I have to scroll horizontally to see all the data. With the preview off, I can see all the columns without scrolling.
work-around: Not ideal but could you zoom out “1 notch” / to 90% in the browser when looking at that view?
Hello Brian. Sorry, this is not going to change. The web platform we use across the entire product now has different spacing and styling.
That’s unfortunate. It seems odd to have the feature to collapse the New and Done columns, and yet that no longer gives the ability to see more of your content. 🙁
Thanks. this is helpful to me and my issue is fixed …

Hello, I noticed a bug with setting a contact in the Approved By field. If you have two accounts with the same display name it throws an error that the name is ambiguous and will not let you select either one.
An example error:
The value 'Cory Hutchinson' for field 'Approved By' is ambiguous with 'Cory Hutchinson coryh@REDACTEDDOMAIN.com;Cory Hutchinson cory@REDACTEDDOMAIN2.com'. Provide a unique name for this field.
Does this behave differently when New Boards Hub is turned off?
Hi Dan,
A customer of mine has found that the Date/Time fields with the NewBoardsHubs update seems to now exclude the TIME from the field.
With NewBoardsHubs turned off, the Date/Time field would display information such as "9/8/2022 12:00 AM", but with the NewBoardsHub ON, the field only displays the date information "9/8/2022".
Is there a way to add the time back such that it can be edited through the date selector and also display...
Yeah, if you take a look at the Start Date and Target Date fields, this is how we would like to proceed on all date fields moving forward. We wanted to get some feedback first.
Saw that as well. And funny enough. One built-in field supporting the old way was found.
But the bigger problems with our internal customers we had was. That they didn’t find it very efficient because they had to edit now two fields instead of one. That is more clicks and take more time if you must do a series of work item editing.
Sebastian, we populate the time with a default time when you add a date. That should help with the clicks. Let us know if you would rather see something different.
For many of our departments they said that sometimes the time is irrelevant and seems to be confusing. Especially for a target date often the time is not important.
It would be great if there would be an option to make sure that the time is not even shown on a work item.
Is that feasible? The greatest implementation in my opinion would he to be able to control this in a custom process at the control...
I'm having another issue since I switched to the new board but it might be just coincidence. I'm in the sprint backlog with the list of work items. I click a work item and make a change to it, save and close. I'm returned to the sprint backlog. If I then select several of its child items and edit them using the context menu then I get an unexpected error. Refreshing the page solves...
Michael, can you email me directly with a screen capture to help us debug this?
Thanks my issue is fixed!

I found a formatting issue when using the board to copy work items as HTML. When you select one or more work items and then it creates an HTML table. In our case the table contains the parent work item so the HTML has the parent work item ID. However the parent work item ID is formatted with grouping (e.g. ) instead of as just an ID.
Unfortunately I cannot put a screenshot in but...
Thanks for reporting this. We will spin up and bug and get it fixed!
