Unable to get rootFolder name of a list

Question

In our code we are fetching rootfolder name from SchemaXml of a list as below. In the scheamXML, the root folder will be present. It was working fine. But recently the value is coming as empty. Any one knows the root cause for this?

ListCollection listCollection = context.Web.Lists;

context.Load(

listCollection,

lists => lists.Include(

list => list.Hidden,

list => list.Title,

list => list.BaseType,

list => list.BaseTemplate,

list => list.Id,

list => list.SchemaXml

));

context.ExecuteQuery();

Hi @Dhanusha Elangovan,

There is an issue in sharepoint online backend which will cause users receive the following error when attempting to access some SharePoint Online lists: "One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to list settings page to delete these fields."

You could refer to the following reprot in admin center
