How do I save a custom view?

I like to create my own view for the squad screen (selection with the fitness column added - I use a wide screen monitor). I can create the view and even name it. However, next time I go to the screen the view has reset and it doesn't appear in the custom view list.

Is there any way to make this work so that the view doesn't reset? Or even just that I can reselect my custom one with a couple of clicks?

No. See bugs forum.

There are some squad view screens in the Skinning forum, download one of those and then see if you can edit it within Notepad to what you want. It's not easy but it is possible. I downloaded one of them and added the column for the fitness of the players, i.e. match fit, tired and so on.
