In each metadata tab there is a filter button next to the search, where you have to select custom.

sorry for the false alarm.
so it's not really a bug, but a lack of interface ergonomics.
It's not obvious that you have to make this choice at this point to display the fields you want. 
I thought the choice in the preferences was enough.
and as I'm not really an English speaker... (thanks to DeepL)

This is  users wishes to be able to choose this kind of settings for each metadata view.

OK et merci pour ces réponse très très rapides.
je comprends le choix, mais cette possibilité pourrait aussi apparaitre dans les prefs… je suis tétu ;)
