    Thank you,  but that variable is now obseleted and points to 
org-overriding-columns-format whose documatiton says it should not be used.  
From the documentation of the variable
    
    org-agenda-overriding-columns-format is a variable defined in 
‘org-compat.el’.
    Its value is nil
    
      This variable is an alias for ‘org-overriding-columns-format’.
      This variable is obsolete since Org 9.2.2;
      use ‘org-overriding-columns-format’ instead.
    
    Documentation:
    When set, overrides any other format definition for the agenda.
    Don’t set this, this is meant for dynamic scoping.  Set
    ‘org-local-columns-format’ instead.

        I have this setting in my Emacs initialization:
        
        (setq org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%5TODO %TIMESTAMP %40ITEM 
%LOCATION %TAGS")
        
        HTH,
        eric
