Project Workspace list customizations

[Astro Boy]

Hello MOPS community!

I am trying to create a "Risk Log" list in the WSS Project Workspace
template. I've got two approaches in mind, but both seem to have
flaws. I'm wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom for me:

1. I can use the OOB "Risks" list and add my new columns to it, as it
already has a number of columns I would like to use. However, there
are some columns in this list that I DON'T want to use (Cost,
Category, etc). I don't know how to hide these columns from the
default view used when creating a new item.

2. I can create an entirely new custom list, adding or creating the
columns I want. However, I REALLY want the Link Items/Project Link
ability on my list, and do not see how I can add this functionality on
the default view used to create a new item.

Should I try to go route #2, but use SharePoint Designer rather than
the SharePoint UI? Can I do route #1 with Designer?

Thanks in advance!

mIf you want to hide these columns instead of deleting them turn on the
Content Mangement fro the List settings and goto Content Type and you can
hide those columns.

Hello Astro Boy --

I strongly recommend that you don't delete any columns from the built-in
Issues and Risks lists, as this will cause workspace synchronization errors
in the Project Server queue. You can read more about it here:

Enabling content types is a much better way of hiding the built-in columns
that you don't want to use.

Good luck!
