Do you have any preferences set?

[robdekort]

Nope! Can't reproduce it then?

[duncanmcclean]

Yeah, it seems to be working fine for me. I don't have any preferences set.

[robdekort]

Crickey, you're making me question my sanity. Ok I just did a fresh install: statamic new test.

I've managed to figure out why this is happening...

The Field::isVisibleOnListing() method checks if a field is display-able on the listing table, by taking the listable config option into account (which defaults to "Hidden by default"):

https://github.com/statamic/cms/blob/6e5d6a20572274c1d71227ea7edda1049c8d1396/src/Fields/Field.php#L220-L227

It checks whether or not listable is null. When it is, it checks the handles, and returns true for fields like title and slug. This is so you always see some columns on a new collection, before you've gone in and customised the blueprint.

This worked fine in Statamic 3 and 4. However, in Statamic 5 we introduced some changes so that default values for fields aren't saved in blueprint YAML files, to try and tidy them up a little.

Because of these changes, it means that if you have listable to "Hidden by default", $this->get('listable') will come back as null, making it think it should show those "default columns".

I'm not sure on the best approach to fix this one. 🤔

Good find though!
