    Would love this feature as well. And frankly, I am surprised it has not been done yet.. it doesn't seem that complex from a programming perspective to pass that information along to a report.

    I completely agree. One of the uses of reports is to make things easier for designated audiences by showing only a subset of the information. Why would we want to make it more difficult for them by not explaining what each column means? Please implement the requested feature.

    I can see forum posts relating to this feature request since 2018. Is there any update on this? Any idea if it can move from the Wishlist to the backlog?

    Particularly useful when a report has more than one user group / audience

    Please prioritize this request! We don't let most of our users see the underlying source sheet so we need a way to let them know what the column is used for.

    Ideally, I'd like to have separate column descriptions per report so that I could customize the use case for those specific users but if nothing else, let me use the existing description from the base sheet.

    I am seeing the option for Column Descriptions in the Column Properties Drop Down on my Reports, but it is Grayed Out (not available), just kind-of teasing me…

    Does this mean it is only available to select Accounts, or am I missing something?

    Is it still not possible to see the "Column Description" in a Report View?

    I remember someone asking how to do this years ago and it not being available… but has this feature still not been added?

    I can see the "Add Description" option in the pop up menu when clicking on the three dots in a Report. However, these columns already have descriptions and the option to add one in the report is grey'd out.

    How many votes does it take for the enhancements team to take the request seriously …

    ALLOW Column Descriptions from main intake sheet to flow to Reports

    This is a MUCH NEEDED FUNCTION for your users. I'm seeing this ask date back 3+ years. Please advise. Finding a WORK-AROUND is adding extra work. I want to work SMARTer. Please advise.

    How is this not possible yet? It should be the default behavior as it makes reports useless in a lot of situations where you need to explain the columns.

    As title says we desperately need this feature which should be default. Without this feature many reports can be useless as the users cannot check to see exactly what the column is for.

    Pay me and I'll do it for you. This cannot be too hard to implement.
