I would likew to add a new field to a view,

in my case a cost value for a task.

Everything else in MLO seems customisable except this!

Any ideas?

In "setup colums" (right from the search bar) you can see every option you can setup as an column. Cost value isn't there, but you could take "time required" as costs.

I do as TMZ suggests and use Min Time and Max Time as costs, and this can be summed to the parent if the Parent is a Project.  Beware, one needs to enter a H after the input for example 15 h, else it thinks its minutes and will have 45  plus 30 = 1 hour and 15 minutes

Many thanks for the reply and the suggestion of using "time required".

Coming from Outlook, I thought there would be an option to add a new custom field.

Anyway, your suggestion will be a great work-around!
