Draft order admin view "Edit colums" feature

[Koennn]

Hello all,

In our admin, we use tags a lot. In the admin order overview, you can see the tags per order, which is extremely useful for us.

We also use tags on Draft order a lot. Unfortunately, we cannot adjust the colums for the Draft order overview like we can in the Order overview. It would be a huge benefit if we could view tags and/or edit the colums in Draft order like we can with Orders.

Since Draft orders has had some attention lately by the dev team, I hope this could also be added to make Draft orders more similar to Orders.

Any tips for a workaround would also be very useful!

Best,

Koen

1. Use Shopify Admin API + Custom App/View- You can build a private app or use a tool like Shopify Flow or Shopify CLI to pull draft orders and their tags via the API:

• GET /admin/api/2024-04/draft_orders.json

• Extract tags, customer, order status, etc.

• Then, display it in a custom dashboard with adjustable columns (e.g., using React + Polaris).

• This way, your team can view/edit tags easily, similar to how they do in Orders.

2. Export Draft Orders to Google Sheets or Airtable- Use an integration like:

• Zapier, Make (Integromat), or Shopify Flow

• Export Draft Orders + Tags regularly to a Google Sheet or Airtable

• From there, you can fully customize views/columns.

• Tags become easily filterable/searchable.

3. Use a Shopify App (if available)- Some apps might enhance Draft Order views:

• Matrixify (formerly Excelify)

• EZ Exporter

• Better Reports

• They allow full export or customization of orders, including drafts.

4. Ask Shopify Support to Upvote the Feature- Since you’re right that Draft Orders got attention recently, your request is valid.

• Have multiple team members submit this feature to Shopify Support—it increases priority if it’s coming from multiple merchants.
