Adding the column _ failure cause_ to a view has no effects if the failure cause is part of a downstream build. Not even the column header is shown. The HTML code shows that an extra column is created but completely without content.

          [JENKINS-32001] Failure cause column not shown

          I tried this out. If there are no failing builds with failure causes, nothing is shown.
          This is fine imo, I don't see a reason to write "no failure causes" when nothing is found.

          The problem is that the column header is never shown, even when failure causes exist, which is due to the code for columnHeader.jelly just containing a nbsp and no text.

          Thanks for the reply. I guess the reason my column is not shown is that the downstream builds have the identified failures. The status page of the build correctly identifies the subproject and the failure cause, but this is not working in the view.

          But you are right, you can see the column failure cause if you look at the table with the downstream builds.
