View not showing display name for columns

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 828

When i am going to customization and checking column name under views, i am finding GUID suddenly and on the web display names are totally fine. 
Attaching the screen shot, can anyone let me know why that is happening and  how to solve it, last time i had to recreate a view to resolve such option.

If I double click on this column which showing guid I get a message "column is no longer a valid column because it has been deleted as a column option. You need to remove this column and, if you want, add a different one"..   although columns are there and they are visible on web nicely with correct display name

    Hi Partner,

    From the affected view, remove those columns and add it back again and verify the behavior if it works.  It happens mostly due to customization.

    As Brite Global mentioned, it happened to me before when I created the view in make.powerapps.com to add the columns from the related entity and open the view in the classic view designer.

    Can you check if this also happens in the maker portal?

    https://make.powerapps.com

    Navigate to your solution, go to your entity and then select views.

    See what you are experiencing in the view.

    Also, are you sure these columns are still part of the entity, or maybe they are related columns to a field that is no longer related?

    This should be the case because the system should prevent you from deleting dependent fields, but you never know.

    Hope this helps.
