Is there a way to add the task Description field to planning console columns?  It not in the Columns Configuration pick list in my company instance of SN.  We have a need to populate the description field on most tasks and the only way I know to update this flied is to open the tasks details sidebar using edit.

Hi Arthur,
both in the new project workspace as well as in the legacy planning console both fields should be available.  In the new workspace, possibly the description is only visible on the 'Full view' form, but that is something you can modify if needed

Ahhh ok, the step I was missing was to change the view to project workspace when the task list popped up.   I did that, added Description and then went to planning console and now Description is visible.

 

Thank you.

Glad it worked and Thanks for prompt action.

 

Happy SPM Learning !!
