Columns

Added by Jason Owens about 7 years ago

I’m having an issue keeping new columns on my project. When I create a new column using “add columns”, it disappears when I leave the “workpackages” page, or exit open project and come back to it later. I’ve checked with several other people in my office and they all have the same issue. How do I get a new column to stay a permanent part of my project, this shouldn’t be a difficult process?

Hi Jason,

there are two ways to permanently keep the columns in the work package table:

  1. You can define columns as default columns which are then displayed in all projects by default. (To do this, go to “Administration” > “System settings” > tab “Work package tracking”. Scroll down to the table “Customize the appearance of the work package lists” and check the columns you want to display by default. Then click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page.
  2. If you don’t want to change the default columns for all projects but just for a certain page, you can save the changes to the columns (as well as the applied filters) in a query which you can then access at a later point. To learn how to do this, please take a look at the OpenProject user guide (section “Save preconfigured filters”).

Hi @Robin, I was trying exactly that, but couldn't find how to order the columns using option 1. I added a "code" field, and would like to display it at the very left. Is it possible ?

Thanks !

Hi Olivier,

Sorting the default columns is currently not possible. There is however a feature request for this: #29078.

You can however already sort the columns in a view / query.
