Fix SharePoint List Title Column Missing in All Items View
Question details
The user is experiencing an issue where the SharePoint list Title column is visible in a JSON-formatted Gantt chart view but is missing from the standard All Items view.
- Product
- Microsoft SharePoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Navigating between different SharePoint list views and attempting to display the default Title column in the All Items view.
- Observed behavior
- The Title column fails to render in the All Items view, despite being properly configured and visible in the JSON-formatted Gantt chart view.
Ensure you have 'Edit' or 'Design' permissions for the SharePoint list, as these are required to modify public list views and access JSON formatting settings.
Verify Column Visibility in View Settings
The most common reason for a missing column is that it has been unchecked in the specific view's configuration page.
SharePoint allows columns to be displayed or hidden on a per-view basis. A column showing in one view does not automatically guarantee it will appear in the All Items view.
Navigate to your SharePoint list and ensure you have selected the 'All Items' view from the view dropdown menu located at the top right of the list.
Click the view dropdown menu again and select 'Edit current view' to open the list view settings page.
Scroll to the 'Columns' section. Locate the 'Title' column in the list and ensure the 'Display' checkbox next to it is checked.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'OK' to save your settings. Refresh the list page to confirm the Title column is now visible.
Review and Temporarily Disable JSON Formatting
Custom JSON formatting applied to the view or individual columns might contain logic that unintentionally hides the Title column.
Consult Microsoft Q&A and Developer Communities
If standard settings and basic JSON troubleshooting do not resolve the issue, specialized developer support is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my SharePoint column show in one view but not in the All Items view?
SharePoint list views are configured independently of one another. A column must be explicitly checked for display in the specific settings page of every view where you want it to appear.
Can JSON formatting completely hide a column in a SharePoint list?
Yes, custom JSON formatting can manipulate the display properties using CSS styles (like 'display: none') or conditional logic to hide specific columns or entire rows based on custom criteria.
How do I restore the default All Items view if it breaks?
You can go to 'Edit current view', uncheck any unwanted custom formatting, or create a completely new view based on the standard list template and set that new view as the default for your list.
Do I need admin rights to change a SharePoint list view?
You need at least 'Edit' or 'Design' permissions on the SharePoint list to modify public views. Users with only 'Read' or 'Contribute' access can create and modify their own personal views, but cannot alter the default public views.
