Explanation

When a new field is added to an existing table, it is NOT automatically added to the List view. ServiceNow does not modify existing List view layouts when fields are added - list views are independent UI configurations. A user or administrator must explicitly add the new field to the desired List view via the list column editor or by modifying the sys_ui_list records. This prevents unintended changes to existing views for all users.
