Following Egli Christian's example², I defined a column format in a properties drawer as follows: ,---- | :COLUMNS: %40ITEM(Task) %Effort(Estimated Effort){+} `---- If I make a tree of tasks and inclued an "Effort" property in each, entering Column Mode behaves mostly as expected; I can edit the two attributes for each of the tasks situated beneath that properties drawer. One thing I see in the images³ related to the aforementioned example is a header across the top of the column view with the column titles as defined in the format property above. No such header appears when I enter Column Mode here. Is there a special incantation to make the header visible?
