Minimal steps to reproduce: followed steps via github, also cleared my cache on my browser and still not visible

# The least amount of code possible to reproduce my error

The "Layout Options" box is the textfield at the bottom of the "Settings" tab, the "View type" also can be found on this tab.

Adding my 2 cense... I have the same issue.. However, the max columns is visually restricted to 2, no matter what max_cols is set to (tried 8, 10, etc) Inside a layout-card, the number of cards in a row is also restricted to 4.

What I am trying to achieve is a single row with all of my battery operated device % levels in them (about 10 of them) I would use the gauge card and a max width with about 90 or 100.

@Trakkasure This works for me and my custom:button-cards.

  - type: grid
    view_layout:
      grid-area: footer2
    columns: 7
    square: false
    cards:
      - type: custom:button-card
        template: battery_custom_button
        entity: sensor.s22_ultra_battery_level
        name: Phone
[...shortened from 5 entities...]

Columns set to 7 but I only use 5 (room to grow). Just in case it is useful, here's my view's layout:

type: custom:layout-card
layout_type: grid
layout:
  grid-template-columns: 49% 51%
  grid-template-rows: 350px 175px 190px 13px
  grid-template-areas: |
    "col1 main" 
    "gap gap1"
    "gap2 gap3"
    "footer1 gap4"
    "footer1 footer2"
  margin: '-4px 4px -4px -4px'
  padding: 0
  card_margin: 0
