It looks like once you adjust your columns in a list, they update the columns for all lists. It would really be helpful if we could change the columns for each list (or set a default) with the flexibility to change ad hoc.
We understand it is critical to see some information in one list that may not be relevant in another. Our team has been working on making this idea possible and I'm happy to say that we now have it available in private beta.

Thank you all for taking the time to submit, upvote, and comment on this Idea. I'm happy to report that this Idea is now In Planning! This means that our engineers are actively building this feature.
The product development process is always filled with unexpected bumps and hurdles, so I can't give a timeline, but I am confident in saying we'll deliver this feature as soon as possible.
All updates will be relayed on this thread, so stay tuned!
I've been using hubspot 5+ years and never noticed my columns were changing but now that I created a list with 18 columns, provided a report, then created another list with many less fields, went back to add another column to my first list and EVERYTHING was gone, this is crazy and a HUGE timewaste, wow.
This idea has been posted 4 years ago, but still no solution despite the many votes and replies. It would be great if someone at Hubspot started implementing this.
An update from Hubspot as to why this feature is not being prioritized would be appreciated considering the strong interest in this feature by so many Hubspot users.
I came across this thread when searching for a solution to the same problem. I frequently need to export a list of responses to a specific form and I use a column view that includes the form data. When exporting a list for other purposes, such as an event registration list, I need to see different columns but can't build a new column view without removing all the columns from my form response view! This causes a lot of extra work because it forces users to either always export lists with too many columns and delete the unneeded ones in excel or to have to re-select the column output field boxes every single time they want to export a list with a different column view. That's a lot of time lost that could have been spent on other things that aren't clicking boxes! Agreed with everyone in this thread. This is an urgent need and I don't know why it hasn't been prioritized.
We joined Hubspot in November 2021 and as a new user I just discovered this problem with the columns. Different users want to see different columns, in different orders. Hubspot rolls out cool new features every month, but it would be great to see Hubspot prioritize this issue finally and fix it, five years in. On the same topic, it would be very helpful if sort order is saved. Every time I open the list I have to resort it.
Understand we do have a workaround in the form of contact views. However, some customers still prefer to see all their filtered information at one place (e.g. List).
Seeing that this is a rather popular idea, do we have an update?
I thought this concept would have been common sense. Unfortunately, I guess not. This is probably the first time, ever, that HubSpot has really let me down. I don't have any major beef with HubSpot at all, but realizing this rubbed my OCD in all the wrong ways.
I understand there's a workaround to this, but it seems weird that we can't have this logic in Lists if it already exists via Contacts. Not all lists are created equally - they serve different purposes - and so why would changing your columns in one List affect them in your other lists? Interesting how many users have chimed in on this very old thread up to today without any indication of this being on the roadmap for HubSpot.
Couldn't agree more. Lists are meant to serve different purposes- columns useful to one list may not be useful (at all) in other lists so it's quite a bummer having to change the column views every single time.
omg I thought I was going insane. I kept changing one list, which shows active customers, and the view would update for my other list, which is leads. I need to view totally different information for each, ya know, given they are completely different types of contact. Hubspot has this weird blind spot with these things where it's like "here are seven ways to automate an email. why would you need to customize views based on view?"
Add me to the list of people convinced that this should be the default behavior for a list. Lists are often unique pulls of data - so why should we be able to present that data uniquely?

AMAZING! Long overdue. Happy to be part of this beta. Not having saved columns for specific lists has been a huge roadblock for us. At one point we had 2,000 lists across 8 global regions and having to set up contact views pulling lists in with saved columns has been an extra step I no longer want to do.
