Signle line text variable is not visible on the ESC form

I have a single-line text-type question on the record producer. It is active and mandatory. When clicked on try it, the question displays on the form. But when I opened the form in ESC, the question was not displayed, but was shown under the "required information" section.  I tried some ways:

1. I cleared the cache, and it still didn't work. 

2. I checked for UI policies or client script on the form, but there is none.

3. I created another variable with a similar Question and the same configuration and made the original variable inactive. Still, it didn't work. I tried changing its order, making it inactive and active again, checking and unchecking the mandatory checkbox.

4. I created a new variable 'Test' with the same configuration and kept its order at the highest. That time it was visible on the form. So, I changed its order to a lower number, and it was still visible. Then, I changed the question somewhat similar to the original one. Now, it is again hidden from the form, but it is shown under the 'Required information' section.

5. I compared the new and original variable for the configuration with other variables on the same record producer with the same field type, and everything looks fine.

6. I also added container start and container end variables to check if the variable is visible after that.

None of the above ways worked for me. If anyone has encountered a similar issue before, your help would be highly appreciated.

Try creating fresh variable and don't include in any variable set. Delete the older one.

Ensure the variable name is unique and don't repeat it

@Ankur Bawiskar, I deleted the older variable and created a fresh variable. But still it didn't show up on the form. I tried changing the variable type, but it didn't work either.

@ArpitaVK 

same behavior with single line text variable on other catalog item?

@Ankur Bawiskar Thank you for the help. The issue was occurring because of some custom configuration for the SP page. The issue is resolved now.
