Project for the web - How to set default columns in the grid view task?
When creating a project, I want to configure the default display of columns in the task tab. How do I do that?

Maybe you can create a plan with a dummy task and the layout you want and save it with a name like My Template for example, even marking it as a Favorite. You can later open it and make a copy with a different name for the new project that will use those Template layouts.
I hope I have helped you.

- Alot of conditions need to be met to be able to do it, also keep in mind it will not accept what MS call "custom fields" in P4W.
truongnv Look at my post in this thread Configure a default view in Project - Microsoft Community Hub as it should give you some ideas on how to achieve this.

Unfortunately, there is no way to specify a default set of columns in the Grid view in Project for the Web. Every time you create a new project, the software automatically displays the Name, Quick Look, Assigned To, and Duration columns, along with the +Add Column virtual column. This means that during the normal project management life cycle, you will need to change the columns that are displayed in the Grid view. For a helpful video on which columns to display at different stages of the project management life cycle, take a look at my YouTube video on this subject:

Hope this helps.- Thanks for your answer.
Let me ask more. Does it have any API support for adding or changing columns?
