New computer / setup custom columns
Setting up custom columns under a new profile. When I close Wireshark and reopen, the columns are gone. Checking the profile file, they show as still being there.

I actually figured out the problem. It did not like adding a column without a label. I had tried to enter a blank column on the side with no header. This would cause the columns I added to disappear.
Thanks for the help.

Could you open an issue on the Wireshark Gitlab issues page?
I also re-opened the question, as we commonly don't close questions, so other people might benefit from the solution given when they encouter the same issue :-)

Can't reproduce myself on my Mac, things that come to mind are:
- Did you have two wireshark windows open and the last one closed did not have the columns in it yet?
- Did wireshark open with the new profile activated or with the default profile (could e a result too of having multiple wireshark programs running simultaneously and closing them in an unfortunate order).
- Does wireshark have writing rights to the folder where the profiles are saved?

I can replicate with duplicate columns - same field added twice. I have see appear to get flagged by Wireshark, but on import of older profiles, I don't see the warning but do get the behavior.

Can you share the profile? (export from wireshark, stick the zip file on a public file share and add a link to it on the question)
Is it possible they got added/moved to the right of the Info column?
