welcome to the community!

To the best of my knowledge, the list view is currently *per user* . You may want to watch and upvote this feature request: [JWMCLOUD-98](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JWMCLOUD-98).

Alternatively, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, there are alternatives available. I'll provide more information below.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a range of advanced features - including support for (configurable) *issue hierarchies* , *issue grouping* by any issue field(s), *sum-ups* , or *conditional formatting* - and works across any number of projects.

Plus, any changes that you make to the fields of your view are, by default, shared with all your team members!

This is how it looks in action:

Any questions just let me know!

Welcome to community!

Referring to <https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/customize-your-list-by-adding-or-removing-fields/> -\> Column configurations are saved locally. The columns you add to your project aren't visible when the project is opened in a different browser or a private window.

The columns should be there unless you open in a different browser session.

body: Hi Fazila,

thanks for the answer.

Our need is to have a standard column layout. so the perfect thing would be that every project takes the settings from a template (like we are already doing for screens, notification, and so on).

so the admin, when creating a new project and selects "share settings with project" is done and all the users can share a common user interface

thanks in advance

Andrea

body: Unfortunately it is not possible in Jira till atlassian implements <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JWMCLOUD-98>

At this time, the column configurations are user specific and cannot be enforced automatically by the admin :(

body: good morning,

we are creating a Jira project for each workorder.

please consider the situation among many users.

every time you look at issue list during meetings, depending on the user who shares the screen --\> you'll see an inevitably different column layout :-( :-( :-( :-(


author: Fazila Ashraf
body: [@Andrea Bigi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5523315) , I agree on this 100%. Recommend you to vote on JWMCLOUD-98 and hope atlassian implements this soon.

As an alternative, i highly recommend the commercial plugin JXL suggested by [@Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4289506) .
