You need to configure `<TaskWorkItems category="Microsoft.TaskCategory">` values, so that your new states will be shown, e.g. `<State value="YourNewState" type="InProgress" />`

Problem

I modified the Agile template's workflow, and is working fine, the new states are usable. I wanted to add new columns to the board on the web interface, but no luck, the new statuses are not selectable, only the factory ones. Are the user-created statuses available for mapping? Thanks!
