When I create a new project from my template, the column order doesn’t populate in the order I have in my template.

No we don’t have any sort or filter. I just have the columns ordered differently.

It’s mainly …

Before doing anything, navigate over to the overview tab or a different view in the same project. Then go back to your list view and the fields should now show up…

I am also having this problem. Assignee and Due Date show up initially as the first two columns. In my template, I have Due Date hidden and Assignee is in a different location.
