modification of the display of the columns of a project

Hi,

Description is explicitly removed from the list, and not selectable as new column, for very good reason : performance issue and display issue.
List of items can be long (up to thouthands of items).
Description field can contain lot of data (up to 16Mb per item), so imagine a few MB per item, on thouthands of items... your network will explode in few requests.
And also, as you mention, this field contain html tags. To remove the tags, you'd need to transform each value to remove the tags : multiplicated by number of items, you'll crash your server very fast.
