[SOLVED] category view - field stopped showing

[EDIT]

The solution to the problem reported in this thread can be found here:
www.flexicontent.org/forum/28-templates-....html?start=20#64487

##################

A custom field that has been showing in some categories is no longer displayed.
The field in question is published and assigned to several templates.

As you see in the screenshot below, "Cover Image" is assigned to a visible position in the template.



The other fields display as expected and so did Cover Image.

I have examined the filed parameter back and forth and did not find any value clue.

Environment:
Joomla 3.6.2
FC 3.1.0-rc2

Please update to last version in github

(On second thoughts, I'd rather keep both threads separate; this thread deals with a missing field, whereas the other is related to specific parameter in the field).

I have updated FC to 3.2.0-dev and then cleared all caches, but to no avail.
The exact same behaviour keeps happening.

To recap_

1) the field is published and the access level is set to Public
2) the field is assigned to the template that is associated with the category view
3) the field does not display in the category view / items list

Did you have a link to see it ?

Thanks for checking-

Hello

the field
- was initially showing but then it stopped showing ?
- or it never showed with this category layout (of "default" template) ?

is it "default" layout,
or is it a copy of it, that you also edited the HTML of "category_items.php" ?

Correct.
It has been showing for quite some time now and only stopped showing the field after it was saved.

It is a custom template. Not sure exactly which template it was cloned from, but I would suspect the default one.

I must add that the field does not show in any template it is assigned to.
I've even assigned it to a fresh clone of the default template and got the same result.

Did you try an to create an other image field for testing

Not yet.
However, after turning on System Debug in Joomla I have noticed something interesting.
The FC system plugin is apparently trying to load the wrong field.
Instead of main_image (which is the internal name of Cover Image), it attempts to load "image", even if the field assigned to the template is main_image (as it has always been the case.
