Jira Issues List Missing Column

Question

I'm using the issues list view in Confluence Cloud. When editing the list I'm able to select and see all the column I'd like (for example, "Status", "Date", etc.). Some of these columns correspond to custom fields.

However, the moment I exit edit mode (i.e. click "Update" on the page), one of the columns _always_ disappears. Any idea why? I can't figure out why it'd properly render in edit view but never display in view-only mode.

I have the exact same issue, a custom date/time field disappearing from read view. Strangely the field reappears when you click on the "Configure columns"

What's also weird is that the JQL returns another custom field without a default (this time a text field) - and that displays fine.

Is this an issue only with date columns/values?

Thanks - that was my suspicion.

The JQL is correct. And yes - it's a custom field without a default value. In edit mode I see the column, with empty cells where there's no value. It's really surprising that the column is dropped entirely in view mode. Do you know what the rationale is?
