Hello, I have some questions regarding ability of creation custom Column Views:

  1. Will be there some mechanism of conversion of ordinary column to custom one, without losing data and attached automations?
  2. Now if application is deleted, custom column becomes unclickable instead of turning to usual column as common sense suggests. Is it a bug?
  3. Will custom column views be supported in mobile app?

In general it would be good to know roadmap for Custom Column improvements at least for nearest quarter to plan what can be get from platform and for what workarounds should be prepared.

Hey ​@hackercules , I’ll answer by order

  1. I’m not sure I understood the first question,  a transition mechanism is not planned, it’s something that should happen manually by the app user
  1. If the application is deleted, it won’t be available. 
  2. I will check if its on the mobile team roadmap

Please let me know if you have any more questions :)

Hello, ​@OmerK . First and second questions are related to smooth trial experience for customers: currently monday platform itself does not provide easy way to try Custom Column application on existing boards with already existing data.

  1. During onboarding either customer or application should perform data migration to newly created column. Moreover, all related automatons should be retargeted to the new column. Instead, it feels natural to have ability to convert for example existing status column to the Custom one of the given type, anyway at the API level they are the same
  2. Column becoming unusable after application is deleted does not give confidence in data safety too. Again Custom status column becoming usual status column after application is deleted feels more natural

Hey ​@hackercules ,

It seems like valid feedback and I will forward it to the PMs responsible for this area.

I do recommend opening two feature requests for it so other developers could vote for it.

Thank you
