Cannot find the required field SharePoint is looking for to use Quick Edit

Please help before I lose my mind. I've checked every column in content types, every column in site columns... nothing is required. 

I keep getting, "Sorry, you can't create a new item with Quick Edit because this view is missing one or more required columns. To create a new item, please click "New Item" or add required columns to this view". 

If I use a form, I can add items no problem. No issue with required info missing. I've spent ENDLESS hours trying to fix this 😞

  • Hello heathermshaw 

     

    have you checked the list/library columns? The title column is mandatory by default in lists, the name column in libraries.

      What if you have close to 100 fields and don't want to check them all individually? Is there a way to easily view which are required?

        Hello Samantha_net 

         

        in Library Settings you see the mandatory fields. In view you don't have a value to filter.
