[O] More than one column view in a file

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

I'd like to have a couple of different (column) views in my Org file, for
example:

- one (public) view with the estimated time only
- another one (private, I mean "not exported") with the real clocked time

I thought about setting the columns I wish to display in the corresponding
sections... but it appears that the column specification that's taken into
account must be defined where the tasks are (file-wide, or in the "Tasks"
subtree) -- not where the table will be generated.

This, by no way, is a bug: nobody said it should be working the way I'd like
it to be working right now.

Though, I have the impression the current way is quite limiting.

But my question is simply: do you have any idea for a way to work around this?

In the following ECM, you see (on purpose) that PRIOR is displayed in both
columns, while only set in the PROPERTY of the Tasks subtree.

Best regards,
  Seb

* Budget estimate
  :PROPERTIES:
  :COLUMNS:  %66ITEM(Task) %6Effort(Estim.){:}
  :END:

We have estimated the budget as follows:

#+tblname: dblock-tasks
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "49380c04-9b6e-4298-aff8-d936d9679d8e" 
:maxlevel 3
| TODO | Task    | Estim. |
|------+---------+--------|
|      | * Tasks |  37:00 |
| TODO | ** A    |  36:00 |
| TODO | *** A1  |  12:00 |
| TODO | *** A2  |  24:00 |
| TODO | ** B    |   1:00 |
#+END:

* Worked hours                                                      :noexport:
  :PROPERTIES:
  :COLUMNS:  %66ITEM(Task) %6CLOCKSUM(Time) %6Effort(Estim.){:}
  :END:

We have worked that much, and can compare with what had been estimated:

#+tblname: dblock-tasks
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "49380c04-9b6e-4298-aff8-d936d9679d8e" 
:maxlevel 3
| TODO | Task    | Estim. |
|------+---------+--------|
|      | * Tasks |  37:00 |
| TODO | ** A    |  36:00 |
| TODO | *** A1  |  12:00 |
| TODO | *** A2  |  24:00 |
| TODO | ** B    |   1:00 |
