Lists column hides bug
TimVervaet Hi, I had the same issue and it’s really sad that no one from Microsoft has fixed nor replied to you!
I got out of my way to register this account. Way to complicated if you just wanna answer someone’s question, if you ask me 🙂
Anyways, yes it seems to be a simple bug!
When you scroll down on the bottom left you can actually still access the „classic sharepoint“ view. I guess it’s coded different but there you can also add column. I found my bugged one there, unhide it and re-enter the normal SharePoint view. My column was then visible, allowing me to either use it or delete it and creating a new one.
Worked for me and I hope the tipp to use the classic sharepoint works for you and others as well.
Cheers
IMikeru / TimVervaet You can also show hidden columns in list view by following below steps:
- Go to your list.
- Click on any column name/header, select "Column settings" and then select "Show/hide columns".
- Select the columns you want to show in list view & click "Apply".
If the column is not showing sometimes in list view, it maybe browser caching issue & it is loading older page from cache. In this case try clearing browser cache.

- Hi ganeshsanap. Your tip was my first attempt to fix it, but when I try to unhide the column, it disappears immediately again (like stated in the original question).
TimVervaet There is another way to include the columns in list view. Here are the steps:
- Go to your SharePoint list
- Click on "Switch view options" drop down & select "Edit current view".
- Select the columns you want to show & click "OK".
