Problem/Motivation

When enabling the option 'Force using fields' in the Views display options, this has no effect other then enabling the fields options. These fields are never actually rendered, nor do any of the options set for these fields (like rewriting) have any effect.

Steps to reproduce:
- Create a Content view
- Set format to Format:Unformatted list
- Set Show:Content | Teaser
- In the Format settings enable 'Force using fields'
- The Preview will show teasers, not fields

Proposed resolution

Make the option work

Remaining tasks

- find a fix
- add tests (it has zero test coverage currently)

User interface changes

none

API changes

none

Data model changes

none

Yes.. it is working when view is Table format but not working unformated list format.
For export can I use view export module with Csv_serialization module.

I just tested a rewrite with an unformatted list and it works. Would you please export the affected view and attach it? Use the configuration export at admin/config/development/configuration/single/export.

row:
   type: 'entity:node'
   options:
       view_mode: teaser

Well in this view, Node teasers are shown, so all field settings will be ignored. Does it work if you show fields?

Have the same problem on the latest version 8.3.7.
Using Unformatted list forcing use of fields and just want to rewrite the output of a date field like this: 

<p><strong>{{ field_startar }}</strong></p>

Nothing happens with the field output.
If I copy this view display and change the format to Table the output works as aspected.
Have attached the view.

This is not a core display type (I'm assuming it's from https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bootstrap), and you say that if you change it to a core display type it works, so this doesn't seem to be a core bug, please file an issue with the contrib module.

Closing this for now since all reported problems don't seem to stem from core.

This is not the problem.
When I changed Using Unformatted list forcing use of fields and Show Content
to
Using Unformatted list, Force using fields unchecked and Show fields
The view behaved as expected.

Title: Rewrite results not working in 8.2.3. » 'Force using fields' option in display options doesn't make a View render fields

@chrotto ah! ok so the problem stems from using 'Force using fields' in the display options.

Tried using that, but it doesn't seem to do anything, it just keeps showing the teaser, not the fields that I add. So it's not just the rewrite that doesn't work, it's that this entire option seems to be broken.

Updated the IS to reflect what I thin k is the real problem.

I wonder why you're using the display content option - if you want fields, why not use the fields display?

Version: 9.5.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
