Ability to set default List and board view columns, controlled by admin of each project

      Hello!  

      As a Project Admin, I would like to set a default view for the List and board Views in a configuration.

      Because I want the Users of the Project to all experience the basic setup the View is intended to deliver.

      Each Projects List and board View should have it's own predefined view of content, which is independent from the users settings of view preferences.

      In One Project the Due Date may be necessary on the other it may not.

       

      At the Moment the Users settings are defining how all lists across the site are looking.

      We have multiple WorkManagement Projects and currently, after I set one view on one project all my views are suddenly the same on all projects.

       

      Thank you very much.

      I hope this will be added very soon.

      Cheers

      // Patric

       

      Atlassian Update - July 2026

      Hi everyone,

      Great news - this feature request has been addressed for the space list views! You can now create up to 10 named list views within a space, each with its own saved configuration including filters, grouping, column settings, and more.

      Space admins can set any list view as the default, so your team always lands in the right view without having to rebuild it. Non-admins can personalise their own view and reset back to the admin-saved state at any time.

      For more details:

      We're also working on bringing this to board view on software spaces (it already works on business spaces) and will keep you posted on progress.

      We'd love to hear how this works for your team!

      Cheers,

      Atlassian Update - March 2023

      I have closed a duplicate ticket, JWMCLOUD-197 – Allow user to configure default column order for JWM boards, and am pasting its description here for further clarity:
      Current Behavior
      Currently, users are able to order/re-order columns when viewing a company managed board in JWM. However, there is no "default" setting to enforce a specific view (at least initially until each user may or may not re-order their own session to whatever they may specifically need) across all users upon first login. The default is set by Jira itself and is not able to be adjusted.

      Desired Behavior
      Allow users to adjust the default column configuration of a company managed board to enforce a specific order as needed instead of letting Jira set this default without adjustment.

      Further notes from comments with JWMCLOUD-98
      What we want is for the administrator can set the column for each project and for all users like Queues in Jira Service Management.
