Modify datalist to include custom columns

[jackjm]

Hello all,

I would like to know if it is possible to modify the built-in Advanced Task List to have additional columns and /or drop a column? Usually, it is not a recommended practice, so can we build a new list with the functionality of an advanced task list but with different columns?

If there is data in an existing Task List; is it possible to (easily) copy it into a custom list or would one have to recreate the information manually in the new list?

Any suggestions on how to proceed will be greatly appreciated. I am using share 4.0.d community if it matters.

Thank you very much for your time.

Hello all

It seems a datalist is a custom model that be extended and customized just like any other model. This excellent post provides all the details:

Sorry; I should have spent more time before posting here; but there was nothing which clearly explained customizing data-lists.

Anyway, I did find my answer in the same forum; so thank you very much for the same.

Thanks again
