Add an option to show issue/PR number as a dedicated column
Author: davinkevinCreated Jul 15, 2026Updated Jul 15, 2026
Right now the issue/PR number only shows up as a #123 prefix on the title, and only when theme.ui.table.compact is enabled. It'd be great to be able to display the number without switching the whole table to compact mode.
Two possible approaches:
- A dedicated
numbercolumn in thelayoutconfig (likerepo,title,assignees, etc.), with the usualwidth/hiddenoptions. - Or decouple the
#numbertitle prefix fromcompactso it can be toggled on its own.
The number is really handy when cross-referencing with the web UI, CI, or branch names, so having it visible regardless of the compact setting would be a nice quality-of-life improvement.
