Virtual Text column not listed in Detail view "Header columns" picker, but available in Column order

Cuerpo:

I have a virtual column (Type: Text, Show = ON, App Formula = CONCATENATE of USEREMAIL() and a role lookup) in my Produccion table.

The Detail view is based on a slice that includes this column. The column appears normally in the view's Column order list (I can even place it first), but it does NOT appear in the "Header columns" dropdown of the same Detail view — the picker lists my other columns but not this one.

In a second app I built the exact same virtual column and there it CAN be selected as a Header column without any issue.

Already tried: saving everything, reloading the editor, verifying the column is in the slice, verifying Type = Text and Show = ON.

Is there any rule about which columns are eligible for "Header columns" in Detail views (e.g., exclusion of columns already used in the manual Column order)? Or is this a known editor issue?
