Add columns to bullet view

I would love to be able to add columns to the Bullet view... similar to what is available in OmniOutliner - add a second column to the right of the bullet. Imagine a column where you track status, dates or notes aligned with the bullet.

That would be amazing!

  Hi Yoni,

  In the meantime, would our "boards" feature work?:

  @frank,

  The boards feature is nice but does not address the issue that Yoni is bringing up. 
  Yoni is trying to add meaningful custom data to any given bullet. 

  Trello handles this by launching an overlay for a given bullet. This overlay can handle everything from due dates, to assignments, to comments, to changes, to child bullets, and much more... I prefer the overlay instead of showing table columns because different bullets could have very different sets of meaningful data and, in a column view, would be very messy.  
  + 1 for expandable overlay with meaningful custom data

  @Frank - I wasn't aware of that feature! It is pretty interesting and useful (I do have to say, it's not intuitive to switch from bullets to boards, you have to deselect bullets to be given the option to choose boards), but it's not quite what I am looking for. I will try it out for now, but I know that custom data per bullet would be amazing!

  Hi Roarke and Clinton,

  We are aware that we don't have a columns feature. We don't have anything like this on roadmap since we're entangled with 101 other features at the moment.
