SharePoint List Settings view vs Grid view
I am not sure if it's called grid view when you just click on a SharePoint list, but regardless... I accidentally deleted 2 fields in a SharePoint List thinking I was in one list when I was in another. I added the 2 fields back by going into Settings for the List, but when I added the 2 fields and went out of the Settings view, I went into the grid view, the fields are not there. If I go back to Settings, they are still there. Why is this happening? Is there a way to get the 2 synced up?
Also, is there a way to lock a SharePoint List so that you cannot make any changes without unlocking it? I sometimes put 2 lists next to each other to setup multiple lists the same, so it's easier to copy or compare, but getting distracted, it's easy to forget which list is which.
BamaDog27 then go to list settings and select the view and select the columns there to show in the view. I have noticed the same behaviour today as you experienced so I assume Microsoft have made some changes which haven't really worked.

BamaDog27 in grid view click the dropdown next to one of the column headers, select Column settings then Show/Hide columns and tick the checkbox next to each of the new columns.
No, you can't lock a list.
