 * Hi there,
 * We apologize for the terribly delayed reply. Thanks for your patience so far.
 * In regard to your code, there’s more to be done with adding this custom column
   for a custom taxonomy on Downloads post type. You can see much of how it works
   here: [http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/06/27/custom-columns-for-custom-post-types](http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/06/27/custom-columns-for-custom-post-types)
 * You will need to use our `edd_download_columns` filter as well. You can see here
   how another user has put it to use: [https://easydigitaldownloads.com/forums/topic/adding-columns-to-download-columns/](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/forums/topic/adding-columns-to-download-columns/)
 * Please disregard if you have already solved the issue. Again, we apologize for
   the slow response time here.
