Khoa, Hoàng Anh (ID: 000000dec4367aac) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/23/2021 Editted. You need to click on the whole board, not the title of issue to make sibar expand. After installed, how can I make it work as introduced. Accepted permission and reload the page then click on the issue on the board but it still redirect to the details page, not sidebar.
