Add columns in Schedule view on Project in Dynamics 365 for PSA v3
A simple and most common questions asked are if we can add more columns to the Schedule view in D365 Project Service Automation v3. Well, yes! And it’s pretty simple too.

Additionally, if you hide the column and refresh the page again, it doesn’t save the last state as it. It’ll show your column again, and in compressed form
Hope this quick tip helps!!
