Change the views of a SharePoint KPI list

I am trying to add new fields and a new view to a SharePoint KPI list. The KPI list displays two types:

  • All elements
  • KPI list

I am unable to add or remove any of the fields shown in these two views by default. When trying to create a new view, it displays four columns Indicator, Target, Value, State , regardless of which columns are set to display by customizing the view.

When trying to add fields, view and items with these fields set by code, it shows this message in red:

An error occurred while receiving data.

Is this behavior by design?

Is there a way to change this behavior?

It looks like KPIs have a lot of bugs and limitations



  • When you first create a KPI, it often does not pull the correct list of columns from the selected view; by inventing a fake KPI expression, saving it, and then editing it again, it will update the column list. (Obviously a mistake.)

  • You can add new columns to the KPI list, but it will not display them or allow you to edit them. (Possibly just an incomplete implementation.)

  • You can add filters to the view in the KPI list, but they are completely ignored. (Obviously a mistake.)
