A custom field is visible and confirmed created in the Custom Fields overview for a specific screen, but only Menu-items, not the custom field itself, are selectable when trying to add it as a column on that screen — reloading configuration and restarting EE doesn't help.

Answer

Check whether the field's DETAIL VIEW has actually been approved. Approving the relevant detail view, in addition to the normal synchronize, reload-configuration, and column-chooser steps already being done, is what's needed to make a custom field genuinely selectable on some screens where it otherwise silently doesn't show up as an available column option.
