Due date column disappearing
 

Hello!

I've been using Omnifocus for a couple of months now, and in the recent builds I've been experiencing the following problem:

Every now and then, the 'Due Date' column, dissapears and I have to add it again from the view menu, I cannot reproduce exactly when this happens, but it's happening every single day, and it's a bit annoying.

Has anyone else had this issue?

As far as I can tell, column settings are now saved with perspectives, so your columns will look like however they were set up the last time you saved the last perspective you selected - I think...

Yeah, but I'm not in any particular perspective, as a matter of fact, I'm not a big user of perspective either

I have the same exact problem.

I also have that problem and also find it annoying

I suspect that the recent change (which columns are in view assigned to perspectives) resulted in a "default" widow being opened without the start and due dates. This is the window you first saw after installing the build.

Try this - add the columns you want (in both modes), then quit OF without closing the window. Then open OF - are the columns still there?

Thanks pvonk,

I have now added the due column to all perspectives and the columns are still there.

The problem happened without any perspective switch anyway, so I will keep you guys posted throughout the day if it happens again.

Cheers

I think the bug kicks-in if you actually use a perspective. I tried what you suggested and worked fine. But right after I change from a perspective, I loose the 'due date' column again. I think it's a bug...

I am having the same problem ... and the viewing due date columns for all perspectives and then restarting does not work for me.

I hope this gets fixed soon.

You have to turn on the due date columns in the perspective and then [B]use the camera button in the perspectives window to save the change[/B] [I]being very careful to select the correct perspective in the window lest you overwrite a different[/I] (says the voice of experience).
