= Add columns with default values to query output

== Description

This plugin adds a `default_cols` option to set the columns to display be default on query pages. This is bad coding practice, because it uses `post_process_request` to modify the `col` query string argument, but works. Adding this functionality to core is being worked on at [trac:#10425].

A sample configuration in your `trac.ini` file would look as follows:

{{{#!ini
[query]
default_cols = type, status, sprint, milestone, priority, summary, owner, estimatedhours
}}}
