Grouped views in SharePoint list add grouped by column to view

Question

Recently, lists in SharePoint Online have started to display fields a list is "Grouped by" as columns in the list view when the list is expanded. Even if you deselect the column the list is grouped by it will still appear. We tried creating new views, hiding the column etc. nothing worked. Many of our lists use the groupings as headers and we don't want the information to be displayed once as a header and once as a column. Any advice on how to resolve this? Hoping it is just a temporary bug.

Answer 1

I totally agree. I just made a list, and I am having the same issue. I spent some time yesterday trying to make it go away and I didn't understand why was showing if all my list view settings are correct. Makes no sense been able to uncheck the column from showing on a view, but then still shows on the expanded view. Microsoft, please fix this.

Hi folks,

I spent quite a bit of time like you wondering what I had done that was wrong and was about to abandon this in favour of OTB sections for an FAQ but discovered that at least SOME GitHub JSON codes DO fix this. This one, for example, seems to get rid of this bug. https://github.com/pnp/List-Formatting/tree/master/view-samples/faq-accordion
