User setting 'Show process date in my tasks'

[solth]

What should happen if one activates the switch "Show process date column in task list" in the user settings?

At the moment, this information is stored in the user object in the database (column configProductionDateShow in user table) but never used anywhere.
What is "Process date"? Is that the creation date timestamp of a process?

Speaking from 2.x: process date is the date when the process is created and it is nice to see this value in "my tasks" if you have a lot of processes and want to work from old to new as this is even a sorting column in 2.x

Thanks for the explanation.
This option seems a little at odds with the way things work in Kitodo 3, then, because list columns configuration is much more flexible now - all kinds of columns can be toggled on the fly via the list column configuration button in list views.
The downside of the current implementation is that list configurations are now saved on per client level, instead of a per user level. We should probably rethink this design decision in the future.

If the same goal can be reached through an other way, then maybe the data should be migrated and the old behavior should be removed.
