Ability to Show and Set Column Defaults for Team
complete
Pol Cousineau
Allow us to save a set of "Show Column" with specific columns. The goal is to easily have the same column settings across all spaces when in List View.

You can do this by saving the List view as a template then loading it when creating a new view or Space 🙂

Waleed Elaghil: Yes, however I can't figure out how to cascade this down within a space automatically, so if we save a template view and load it at a space level, we have to do the same at a folder/list level for each and every list. I think the feature request is looking more along those lines - can we have a view set at a higher level in the hierarchy that then cascades to lower down the hierarchy by default?

Madeleine Leslie: Totally agree! Been wanting this forever. +1

I need that please! here we should all have the same columns in the lists.

I cannot believe columns aren't saved with view templates (kept thinking "am I doing this wrong?") and still no change after two years??
It's cool ClickUp is introducing new features all the time (though 98% are outside my needs 🤷♀️), but I'd find a ton more value in existing,

As Kirk Mullis said "Column layouts should be saved in Templates"
Updating to clickup2 has hidden all of our non default columns and now Ihave to manually edit 50+ projects (now called folders) to show what we need to show. Tryed saving a template but sadly this setting is not saved.

UPDATE
*I have just found that you are able to save a View Template (go up to view options), which does save the columns. This is good but it would be far better to just have one master template that combined Task, Statuses and Views so when you create a new project/folder you apply that template and everything is set.
*
UPDATE 2
*I stand corrected, you can set a View Template as the default. You need to go to View Options > Default Settings > Default View Templates > Then next to List select the template. It would be better UX if when you create the template there is a checkbox labled "Set as default view". This being said it doesn't see to save custom fields in the templates. So I now think I've managed to get all the projects to view all the columns. If you view all projects in the space, set up the columns as you wish, add the top you will see a notifcation saying "You can't save loyouts here" Click the 3dotsnext to this and click "Save for everyone". Doing this seems to apply to all projects.

My guests, in particular, get turned off by the product because they see nonsensical columns when they come in by themselves. Would love defaults to alleviate this issue.
John Trabelsi
Totally with you on this one! I always have to tell my team to activate the column. We should be able to set a default view of any projects.
Samantha Fowler
Specifically, when saving a space or project template, allow keeping set columns.

Ability to save which columns show for all team members in list view, and the ability to save this view Space/Project/List templates.
(could see this being very useful with custom fields)
