Custom fields as Issues list column

Description
I would like to be able to choose to display and sort on, custom fields in the list of issues/tickets. Custom filed can be filtered on but not displayed in the list view.
NB: When customising/saving a filter/custom query, should consider whether it is reasonable/possible/suitable to highlight to the user that if 'For all projects' check-box is selected, the custom field will not be displayed for other projects (except perhaps if a custom filed of the same name is present?)

This is a bit more complicated to be precise. I'll explain...
Issue custom-fields can be configured (URL: http://host.tld/settings?tab=issues) to be shown on the issuelist too, but only if they are marked as "For all projects". Then they'll become available to be added to the issuelist as a sortable-column (on all projects).

Don't know which version you're using but this feature is implemented.

Thanks for the feedback Mischa and Jean-Phillippe. We are using v0.8.0.stable. I do not accept this ticket as Invalid.
I was not aware of the ability to add a custom issue field as a filter column, if the custom field is set to 'For all projects'. However, what I am asking for [maybe not clear] is for the ability to add a custom field as a filter column, without it having to be set 'For all projects'. (Hence my note regarding the possible behaviour if the saved filter is set to 'For all projects'.)
We run about 30 projects, some in active development and some in support, across several different development teams and each with a different client. The issue tracking requirements is unique in some way for almost every project. This is why it would be useful for us to have this ability for custom fields that are not marked as 'For all projects'.
Many thanks for your patience. I hope you can see that my feature request differs from the existing functionality and is therefore not invalid. [You may of course determine that it is not sufficiently useful to implement anyway. :-]

When creating a custom query for a particular project, you can use custom fields of this project even if they are not set as 'For all project'.
And now (after r2743), you can use any custom field when creating a cross-project custom query.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for this clarification... I wasn't talking about custom queries in journal 1. I must admit I regularly forget them completely, partly due to the issues I've mentioned before in issue #2679, journal 27. I still have to open that new issue I've mentioned there... :-( Will do soon...

Great... Now (considering the custom query feature) I think you've completely implemented the need for issue custom field colums in the issuelists... Great job! I'll soon update the wiki to document the behaviour of this all... It's really lacking there atm...

Can you confirm if the above described things fits your needs now?
Kind regards,
Mischa.

Hi Jean-Philippe and Mischa.
Thanks for your responses and work. Sorry for my slow response (very busy).
We're upgrading to 0.8.4 this weekend, so I should be able to confirm the feature is what I wanted after that.
Many thanks :-)
James

Thanks Mischa. Actually, turns out our Redmine admin was planning on installing the head/edge revision.
Anyway, I'll confirm this fix, when I am able.

Works great. Happy to close. Thanks guys :-)
The filtering options (group, sort and custom fields) are now really powerful/useful.

James,
Thanks for your feedback. I'll now need to document this whole feature in more detail... ;)
Kind regards,
Mischa.
