3. Hide unnecessary columns:

4. Optional: Create text copies of important attributes for easier reporting

Jira sends issue details to Coda in one large package of information. As you can see when you hover over one of the issues below, each issue references all information associated with it, including the issue status, assignee, URL, description, etc. This package of information can be problematic when you want to report on individual fields, such as status or assignee. One way to make your reporting easier to to create new columns for important fields that will be used in reporting. See a few examples below.
Convert important fields to plain text to make reporting easier
