Sections - more than 4 columns on desktop panel view?

Hey all,

Tldr: Cannot get 10 columns in sections panel view. Only 4. Also how to gain control over amount of columns per breakpoint?

For some weeks I’ve been playing with sections. And I’ve been running in some issues that first I thought it was because of the sections still being experimental.

I’ve noticed I cannot get more than 4 panel columns into view. When I select 10 columns I think I can get them into view when I zoom out the browser to 30%. Do I use a wrong way of thinking?

To me it feels a bit claustrophobic when the columns start jumping to places I did not expect or did not intended to. (I do not mean dense_section_placement).

What I would expect
I might think the HA team went with a different approach, but I would expect to have more control over the sections view. And also in responsiveness. When you work with Tailwind CSS Framework, (others like Bootstrap too I suppose). You have the freedom to work with a certain amount of columns per breaking point (screen size). Translated to HA something like:

columns: 2 #mobile first
columns_md: 4
columns_xl: 6
columns_['3000px']: 24 

The last one is an additional thought. A custom breakpoint for when you run a dashboard on a large tv. But this might be better to define a custom breakpoint in the config file.

Or maybe I should formulate my question different. How, within the current system can I gain more control over the sections view when it comes to the exact amount of columns per breakpoint / screen size.

Maybe it’s just my thought process.

Did you ever figure this out?

It is still an issue AFAIK … see Seeking example showing grid layout of tile cards that use decluttering and auto-entities

There is NO way to have more than four columns in a grid layout (5 if your side bar is collapsed), I have attempted 1000 ways … no answer to my question means to me it’s not possible.

Which begs the obvious question … why does the UI editor allow me to select 6,7,8,9 or 10 and all are worthless. It is a bug for sure.
