In version 4.0 I was able to have more than 3 columns in dashboard.html template.
How could I do the same in version 4.1?
example:
<view template="dashboard.html" onunloadCancelJobs="True">
<label>Minutebuyer</label>
<module name="ServerSideInclude" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">
<param name="src">left.html</param>
</module>
<module name="ServerSideInclude" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col2">
<param name="src">header.html</param>
</module>
<module name="ServerSideInclude" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col3">
<param name="src">right.html</param>
</module>
<module name="ServerSideInclude" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col4">
<param name="src">logout.html</param>
</module>
</view>
This is a known issue in 4.1:
If you specify more than the 3-column maximum for layoutPanel, the error message is not very helpful. (SPL-29295)

It will be resolved in a maintenance release.
You can have more than 3 columns by adding and incrementing _grp instead of _col. All will appear in the same box onscreen, but you will be able to have multiple items in a box.
For example, to create five items across, use xml similar to this:
<module1 layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1_grp1">
...
</module1>
<module2 layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1_grp2">
...
</module2>
<module3 layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1_grp3">
...
</module3>
<module4 layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1_grp4">
...
</module4>
<module5 layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1_grp5">
...
</module5>

the question was why there can't be more than 3; this was apparently possible in an earlier version.
