Description

Hello,

in our project we have a lot of statuses in the workflow. This results in a big number of columns (1) in the workflow administration screen.

While this works acceptable, there is one side effect constantly leading to a loss of overview during editing. For seeing the higher columns it is required to scroll (2). This leads the vertical legend to flow out of the screen (3).

The attached screenshot hightlighths the mentioned numbers 1-3.

Would it be possible to make the vertical legend fixed, so that it is visible everytime?

Kind regards,
Matthias

This issue is addressed by a recently published plugin:

https://github.com/UweHeber/redmine-workflow-visualization-plugin

If any of the upstream Redmine developer could review this, it might be a good candidate for inclusion in the official tree.

By applying the attached patch, the header of the large table in the workflow is fixed and easy to see.
It is a simple change that uses a CSS property position: sticky and does not require JavaScript.

It works fine with Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
In IE11, the header is not fixed because position: sticky; cannot be used, but it will be displayed in almost the same way as before the change.

Here is an updated patch for the current trunk.

It is CSS-only and keeps the table headers and the first column visible while scrolling the workflow tables, on both the "Status transitions" and the "Fields permissions" tabs. See the attached GIFs, recorded with 18 statuses and 20 custom fields.

Tested with Chrome 149 on macOS. When the tables are small enough not to scroll, the pages look the same as before.
