Hi

What specifically have you found and tried, with what actual versus expected results?

A screenshot, pointers to docs and threads and so on will add context to inform and benefit all!

I would like to show more columns with the reference to image attached, here Status. Job Number and Machine No are visible. No I would like to show more columns from DocType. Its not allowing me to get more than 3 fields visible in list view.

Hope you got my point.

Thanks.

Perhaps this limit is for good reason and unless I’m mistaken noted somewhere?

edit: Check this for example Add column to list view - #4 by rmehta

@clarkej
Its linked to the post of 2015, I am pretty much sure that this would have been catered in by now.

Yup whatever trial and error update you can find or add would be good

edit:

The 3 column limit seems to be a ‘UI real estate’ design constraint Show more number of fields in any doctype list page - #4 by rmehta

A review of the basis for that design would help identify what means exist to overcome that, with say a horizontal scroll bar? I am hardly qualified here

Bump. :slight_smile:

Is there anyone who have solved the issue?

It’s a concious design decision to limit the number of columns in the List View, therefore there’s no easy way to add a column without fiddling with the core code.

To circumvent this issue, you can use Report View in conjunction with Script/Query Report:

Do you know how to increase the size of the status field

This is the work around.

listview.page.add_menu_item(__("Expand Column"), function() {
			$('.frappe-list').find('.list-subject').each(function(e){
				$(this).css({flex : "5"});
			});
		});
