    It's not possible that the data is shown in the page but is not available in the table ;-) When you run a table, it shows up as a *, it will not be displayed there.
     
    BLOB is an 'old' datatype, it's better to use Media and Mediaset instead. To display blob, media, mediaset, you always do that in separate pages like for example a card, cardpart.

    That's the nature of BLOB. BLOB can contains a huge amount of data so it is not shown on table or page by default.
     
    if you want to retrieve the value, you can check the Sales Header - Work Description.
     
        procedure GetWorkDescription() WorkDescription: Text
        var
            TypeHelper: Codeunit "Type Helper";
            InStream: InStream;
        begin
            CalcFields("Work Description");
            "Work Description".CreateInStream(InStream, TEXTENCODING::UTF8);
            exit(TypeHelper.TryReadAsTextWithSepAndFieldErrMsg(InStream, TypeHelper.LFSeparator(), FieldName("Work Description")));
        end;
