Cannot Save Item Customize Form - "In List View" Error for Attach Image Field

I’m encountering a blocking issue when trying to customize the Item DocType form. Whenever I attempt to save any changes to the form customization, I receive the following error:

'In List View' not allowed for type Attach Image in row 24

What I’ve Tried

  1. Attempted to fix via DocType customization:

    • Navigated to DocType List → Item DocType

    • Located row 24 (Attach Image field)

    • Unchecked “In List View” option

    • Successfully saved the change in DocType

  2. Problem persists:

    • Returned to Customize Form for Item

    • The “In List View” checkbox for the Attach Image field is still checked

    • Attempting to uncheck it and save still produces the same error

    • Unable to make ANY changes to the Item form due to this blocking error

Expected Behavior

The “In List View” property for the Attach Image field should:

  • Be respected when unchecked in DocType customization

  • Allow me to save changes to the Customize Form

  • Not block other unrelated form customizations

Actual Behavior

The system appears to have a discrepancy between:

  • What’s saved in the DocType definition

  • What’s displayed/enforced in the Customize Form

This creates a loop where the error persists regardless of attempts to fix it through the UI.

Environment

  • ERPNext Version: v15.88.0

  • Frappe Framework Version: v15.87.0

Question

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a way to:

  1. Force synchronization between DocType and Customize Form settings?

  2. Manually clear this validation error?

  3. Remove the “In List View” property from the Attach Image field permanently?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is blocking all Item form customizations.

Setting: Property Setter > Item-image-in_list_view to zero fixed the issue for me.
