I'm having to try to re-create my configuration after windows had to to a restore. I lost all my information and I'm trying to re-do it. One column will not display the information I enter into it. It shows as I'm typing it but disappears as soon as I hit enter. My previous installation worked fine

Please have a look at the documentation for Value and Field:
> **[Editing Columns - File List – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/file-list/#editing-columns)**
>
> The File List is the main list that lists the files loaded with Mp3tag. While it already provides a range of different columns to display file information, it can be extended and adapted to your needs via View → Customize columns.... | Customization...
Are you sure that you have a custom fieldname %Last\_ **Frist** \_Band%?
Should it not be `%LAST_FIRST_BAND%`?
(F **IR** instead of F **RI**?)

I saw that difference, too.
Checking the extended tags dialogue might reveal if now a field Last\_Frist\_Band exists
