Hi,
Can anyone tell me what must be happening when I am able to use "Group By" option on any column field on List view but same action is not happening in other's instance.
See pic below for illustration: where I am able to see "State" column by grouping it but not other person.

Check if the field contains more than 255 characters if it does then it won't support group by https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0715905. It can be fixed via setting Can group attribute= true. Check the details of the solution on the link shared above.

Hi @Sandeep Rajput Thanks for the input, although field value has less than 255 character rather a word only. The link you shared gives explanation which helped. Thanks.
