Hi Francois and Andreas,
On Francois' first question, I wonder if Francois is using attrib1, attrib2... as the actual attribute names in the config file. If this is the case, Francois, you can name attributes with suitable names in the configuration file and dictate which ones appear in the List and Threaded display modes. In the List Display, those names appear along the top row at the top of each column, which I think is what you want.
This example of three lines in a config file (made up).
Attributes = Worker, System, Organisation, Customer, Status, Ticket
List display = ID, Date, Organisation, Customer, Worker, System, Status, Ticket
Thread display = $Ticket: $Worker. $Organisation / $Customer, ($message id).
In list display, those words ("Organisation", "Customer" etc) are those that appear at the top of each column. In Thread Display, note how you can use punctuation. Also (not shown here) you can colour the line in Thread Display depending on the attribute System (which is akin to your question on cell style colouring) a feature not much used in this forum, and the Icon at the beginning of the line depending on the attribute Status.
This is in the documentation, but perhaps it's not clear to all that - apart from the system defined attributes - any word can be used as an attribute name, and that "attrib1" "attrib2" is just shorthand for "any words you wish to use as attribute names".
Otherwise, if you want a different word along the top if the column in the List Display (and also in the form for making a new entry) for the attribute that appears in that column, why not just use that different word as the name for the attribute?
On the third point, about Cell Style, it would be good for having attrubute 2 able to dictate the colour of the cell of attribute 1, and no need to show attribute 2 in the List Display. But take your point that it can be done in a shell script.

Hi Francois,
welcome to the community! I'll try to answer your questions inline (Numbering them would have been a good idea ;-):
- I'm creating a logbook with a lot of attributes. I would like to know if there is a way to name (display) my attribute differently then it's original name. That way I could program $attrib1; $attrib2, etc, and map a name to display the column accordingly... Is it something possible ?
Not to my knowledge. But you can add comments like:
Comment <attribute> = <comment>
Tooltip <attribute> = <comment>
-Is it possible to hide the field "Entry Time" when creating or editing an entry ?
You can supress the display of the entry time in different views using:
Show Attributes = <list>
Show Attributes Edit = <list>
But the entry time will always be stored with the entry.
-I saw the Cell Style fonction to set Color (really nice...), My attribute1 is a worker name; Attribute2 is how the work is going on (stop, ready, in process) I would like to hide Atribute2 in list mode but change Attribute1 cell color based on Attribute2 status... is it possible to do so?
No, that is not possible as far as I see from the documentation. Cell styles can only be set according to the content of the specific cell.
But you could hide attribute1 and attribute2 and then generate an attribute3 with the help of a shell script, and the style of that cell could be created by the shell script depending on attribute2.
-When using "Show Text = 0" (i'm only using attributes), creating a new entry present the menu "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Back".... Pressing "Save" leaves the page, shows "OK with a number" and "Preview" is useless. Is it possible to tune what button should be present or not ? I would like to remove Save and Preview....
As far as I know the display of these buttons cannot be configured.
Cheers
Andreas
