In the Ignition Gateway web interface, the Column Visibility settings reset to default every time the page is navigated away from.

Can it be persistent? E.g. I want "Description" column for my device connections and I have to manually select it each time.

I believe this is on the web UI team's "medium term" list - basically they want to invent the generalized "local user preferences storage" mechanism first, then apply it to places like this where it makes sense.

Yes, that’s 100% correct. We just discussed how to manage things like this and will be looking into providing something approaching preference persistence.
