Hi PN3456789,
Came across this issue myself, the following fixed it for me.
1) Click on one of the heading and choose - "Column settings" then click on "Show/hide columns"
2) Scroll through and look to see if you have two "Name" options.
3) on the RHS window - Untick the currently ticked one "Name"
4) Tick the "Name" which was unticked
5) click "Apply"
Hopefully you already sorted this, and hopefully this helps others.

I was having this issue also and came across the answer that knot_that_smart gave. However, I did not have two fields with the same name. What ended up working for me was to hide the column and then un-hiding the column. After that, everything came back.
1) Click on one of the heading and choose - "Column settings" then click on "Show/hide columns"
2) Untick the current issue field.
3) Click "Apply"
4) Click on one of the heading and choose - "Column settings" then click on "Show/hide columns"
5) Tick the current issue field.
6) Click "Apply"
After that, everything came back. It did appear all the way over to the right, but I just dragged it back to the correct position.

IT_Manager-GZA I tried all the solutions proposed above, but the text in the title column is still not showing. I can only see what's in it after clicking in the individual entry. This started today. Yesterday everything was ok.
- DanyPereyraMay 07, 2024Copper ContributorIm in the same situation with the Title column ... Any solutions now?
- KamziJun 29, 2024Copper Contributor
DanyPereyra it has to do with the JSON formatting. Click on the column> Column Settings>Format this column.
Not really sure what's causing the issue, but that's the workaround for now.

It had also the same issue, Title colum that I had already changed the name to 'Nom', it shows Title column and no data visible. Only visible when edit item.
Go to List settings, views and click on All items. Check if there are two columns (Title, Name Changed), then disable one. - IT_Manager-GZAMay 02, 2024Copper Contributor
Andre_Oliveira Interesting. I am not sure what to tell you as that solution above worked for me. Have you tried creating a new View and/or used a new column with calculated formula to reference that problem column? Those might be some alternative workarounds to get the data to re-appear. Good luck!
- Andre_OliveiraMay 08, 2024Copper ContributorThank you for all the help!
I am staying with excel spreadsheets. I was testing Lists as an alternative also because of the mobile phone app. It seems it is not stable and reliable enough. I will consider it again when it's more dependable.
