Hello,

I'm wondering if there's a way to show my alarms' custom subjects as a column in alarm status table ideally or in a regular table

As in the custom email subject?

If so, it doesn't look like you can add it to the AST as a column. You could show it in another label when you select an alarm if that will suffice?

You _could_ also create a custom prop on the alarm and copy the same value to it, and then you could show that using the [columnsAssociated](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-display-palette/perspective-alarm-status-table#properties) prop in the AST

You can put the subject in the label column of the alarm status table, and if need be, the label column's name can be changed.
