Column visibility in List view and ACLs

[mitzaka]

Hi there, a question which I would love some help with.

I want to show the Short Description column form my change requests into the List view for My Approvals. To do so, I have added the column by personalizing the list view. However, this was only partially successful - I can see the Short Description content with Admin users, but not with other users. With 'regular' users I see this:

I am pretty sure it's a common of ACLs but I can't seem to figure it out. I checked this: Re: Column shown blank in list view in spite of having values

but I still can't get it done.

Nick Hynes - I resolved this in my instance. It was actually the ACLs on the Task table. Make sure you go through all of them and see if there is some dependency there.

Hi Dimitar.   Yes, I just discovered this myself this morning.

We fixed it by creating a read ACL for task.* and task.short_description.   Cheers!

I realize this is really old and the OP probably doesn't need the answer anymore, but in case anyone ever stumbles upon this:

You have to customize the default view (or whatever view you want to use) for everyone. To do this:

1. Right-click on any of the column headings
2. Go to Configure > List Layout
3. Move the columns you want to see from the left slushbucket over to the right slushbucket.
4. Click Save.

Note: If you previously customized it only for yourself, that is the view you will still see. You need to impersonate someone else to see if it worked. Also, the above instructions are for Kingston; it may be different in other versions.
