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.

Can you update the question with output of wireshark -v or Help->About Wireshark:Wireshark.

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?

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.
