What are the conditions that determine the display types that become available?  
I wanted Columns, but it only gives me Rows and Mosaic.

But I’ve copied the elements from a template that has all three options available.

Hello, @guisalomao

The element doesn’t support dynamic columns. In general, we recommend using a Grid element instead of the Columns element.
