Hi everyone,
I know this is a basic question, but is it possible to add one single column at a time to existing view?
I didn't see where this functionality exits in IDEA but maybe I missed it? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Mike,
I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking about if you can do this through IDEAScript?
Brian
Hi Brian,
No, I am just asking to see if I can just do this through the regular user interface. I can see where you can remove columns/fields, but I can't see if you can add individual columns/fields back into the view.
Mike
OK,
If you want to create a new field there are two ways to do this, one is to double click within the data and you will get the field manipulation dialog, there will be a button there to append the field. Depending on which version of IDEA you have under the Data menu you would have an Append button that allows you to append a field to the database.
Is this what you are looking for?

Hi Brian,
I appreciate your assistance. No, what I am looking for is if I decide to hide a column from the view, can I take that existing column and add it back into the view? I see where I can add all columns to the view, including virtual ones, but I want to know if it is possible to add just one existing column back into the view once I have hidden it.

Hi Mike,
Ok, I get you . Yes you can. What you have to do is go into Column Setting, you can access that by right clicking on any of the field headers and selecting column settings or Under View you will see this little down arrow under the Date Values, that will also open up the Column Settings (this is for V9, V10 might be a bit different). From the column settings dialog select the field you want to unhide and then uncheck the Hide field tick box.

Thanks for your help, Brian.
I know these are not really scripting questions but I know you are usually very prompt with responding, so I appreciate your assistance very much!
