List Fields not showing after SharePoint 2013 migration

Issue : List fields (except Title field) are not showing on Display, Edit & Add new item forms  after migrating to SharePoint 2013.

in this case, ‘Title’ column was renamed as ‘First Name’.

Troubleshooting :

When I enabled “Content types” under list settings, I noticed that the default content type (item) was attached only to the “First Name” field.

 

Resolution : I had to add all the fields to the default content type.

Steps: 

1. Click on the default content type (Item)
2. Click on ‘Add from existing site or list columns’

3. Add columns.
