My parts list in draftview consists of three columns, Item number, title and quantity. Item number and quantity respons to the object but for some reason the title column stays empty? Like it is not active or not linked.

I have no idea what happened it used to work fine but now suddenly stopped?

Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

I'm using Solid Edge v20

Are the properties for title blank in the models?
Have you opened the draft file 'inactive'?

Where would we be without sat-nav?
 
The title column is blank (no file names are shown)the others like quantity material are shown and change if updated.

what do you mean with inactive draft file?

I also tried to open an old dft file with working partlist and made a new partlist on the same sheet and the same title problem occured.
 
Draft files can be opened with views inactive. This does not does not load the model data and is therefore much quicker for drafts of large assemblies if you only want to add or change notes, print etc. I don't think this will be the problem though - it was just a suggestion.
You need to check that the column is looking for the correct property from the part files, and that the property data has been added to the parts.
In the draft file use property manager to check.
You may need to add the appropriate columns to the property manager display.
