I'm allowing users to enter news items, and other items with specific dates, as cloned pages. I've given a date field for them. I would like this to be what they see in the date column in the List view in the admin area, rather than the published date. So ideally I would like to do one of two things: either have the news date automatically override the published date, so that even though the list is still displaying the 'published date', it's now displaying the correct date; or change the list layout so it displays a different date field instead. Either would work. Looking for a little help in getting there...Thanks.

Hi @Johnny2R,

Hope this little tutorial helps as starting point. Custom Admin Screens

Great, that's clearly the solution for my second option, and I'll probably go for that - thanks! As regards the first, I believe there is a way which I read about, but I can't track it down now.

I think you are looking for the following - viewtopic.php?p=12070#p12070

Hope it helps.

Thanks, yes, I believe that's what I had seen before. I'll take a good look at it, as I think it suits my requirement pretty well.
