Hello all,
I use column view quite a lot. Very useful, especially for editing
properties. I also use it for task management, having moved to Marcin
Swieczkowski's approach [1]. For managing my tasks, the column view I
have defined includes scheduled and deadline dates. I would like to be
able to use a custom time stamp display. That works for normal view but
not in the column view.
I guess I'm making a feature request: to be able to use custom time
display in column views. Would this be possible? (or, knowing me, it
might already be possible so would somebody tell me how?)
Thanks,
eric

I found some time today to explore and have managed to answer my own
question. Unsurprisingly, org has what I need!
Using the answer given to a related question on StackExchange [1], I
came up with this simple function:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun esf/todo-column-display-filter (column-title value)
(when (and value (not (string= value ""))
(or (string= column-title "SCHEDULED")
(string= column-title "DEADLINE")))
(format-time-string "%e %b %A" (org-time-string-to-time value))))
(setq-local org-columns-modify-value-for-display-function
#'esf/todo-column-display-filter)
#+end_src
Makes my column view much easier to read for seeing my todo list!
Thank you,
eric
