Column Settings
Jira users possessing 'Administer Project' and 'Browse Projects' permissions for the project can configure the Column Settings.
QTM4J provides the ability to make the columns default for the views at the project level so that all the users working on that particular project get the default customized view. For example, the project administrator wants the Priority, Created On, and Reporter columns to remain visible by default for all users in the project.
