Hi @CarolMa6 

The Sys_id is not available to display in the list view; you can search based on the Sys_id but can't include it in the list view.

However, in my previous account, one developer had a special role, and he was able to get it to appear in the list view.

Hi @CarolMa6 

I've one workaround.

Instead of modifying the table config, you can simply create one database view on the task_sla table.

It'll give you an ability to add sys_id as one of the column in list also no one can make any modifications as well on the data base. So it'll be useful for reporting.
