I have a requirement to add a custom column to the list view inside a collection in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Could anyone guide me on how to achieve this?

    @gokulakannanv 

    You can do overlay.

    Go through the below link for customizing consoles.

    For AEM collections, you can overlay the below path under apps

    "/libs/dam/gui/content/collections/jcr:content/views/list/columns"

      Correct me if I'm wrong by overlaying 

      "/libs/dam/gui/content/collections/jcr:content/views/list/columns" we can be able to add columns in the list view for collection, but my requirement is to add custom column in the list view inside the collection

      @gokulakannanv 

      My suggestion to overlay under /apps/ and update it.

       

      You can follow this old blog post, this should work even now. Give it a try.

      https://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2019/10/aem-6520-aem-assets-add-custom-metadata-columns-in-assets-console-list-view.html

       

      Or else

      This is a reference doc to add custom columns in Sites list view. You can follow a similar approach for your use case.

      https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/aem-sites-extension-listview-columns/blob/master/README.md

       

      Let me know if none of the above work.

        Hello @gokulakannanv 

         

        There are some additional columns already available that you can include from view settings option. Can you please check if the field you are looking for is in that list ?

         

         

        Thanks

        Narendra

          Hi, yeah, we can be able to add additional columns using view settings option but adding the column via view settings is a user specific. I need to add the column for all users

          Not sure if you were able to solve this issue but overlaying definitely helps. Thanks!
