Hi @Abishek1998 

It seems it is working as per the product feature. Go through this KB article , perform the resolution steps and check whether its working.

Cause :HR is a scoped application and the widget need to access data from a script include of different scope then it need to be allowed in RCA table (Restricted Caller Access or sys_restricted_caller_access).

Short Description here is a field in the Task table and is in Global application scope, hence data table widget in HR scope was not able to access the field.

 

Resolution :The short description was not displayed because of the Restricted Caller Access Privilege on Read operation for Data Table widget.

Steps to find :

1. Go to sys_restricted_caller_access.list
2. Search for "short_description" as an example.
3. Check for Operation "Read" and Source "Widget: Data Table"
4. Open the record and the Status should be updated from "Requested" to "Allowed".

are you sure the short description is populated for that Case in backend?

are you sure the fields configured are correct in Standard Ticket Config?
