New Design Log View，I only have the content, no timestamp, want to know where the configuration error. In addition, if you want to add additional columns, how should you configure them.

[wu-sheng]

I can't tell from here. @Fine0830 Any idea?

[Fine0830]

Currently, the timestamp is part of content.

[wu-sheng]

@zhangzw218 Your original logs don't have a timestamp?

[zhangzw218]

Well, the original log does not have a time stamp, as in the screenshot, there is no time stamp in the Content.
If sure that only Content is displayed, I'll change it to incorporate the timestamp into the Content.
Thank you. @wu-sheng @Fine0830

[wu-sheng]

You could use LAL to attach and format timestamp to the content too.
