When I check for the custom fields for the queue, I see no fields listed under selected and no fields listed under unselected.

Just checked my user rights:
My login is a member of the admin group.  The admin group has all but:
      Modify ticket owner on owned tickets [ReassignTicket]
      *Show Articles menu [ShowArticlesMenu]
      Show global templates [ShowGlobalTemplates]
      Show history of public user properties [ShowUserHistory]
      *Allow writing Perl code in templates, scrips, etc [ExecuteCode]
      Create, modify and delete custom fields values [AdminCustomFieldValues]
The two with asterisks (*), I pick up via other groups.  So basically, I have every right I probably need.

Looking at the right of the custom field, it seems to have none.
I think it should have:
      View custom fields [SeeCustomField]
But when I check it and save it, nothing changes on the ticket display.

I have a local VM with the old install in working condition, so I have all the files and data.
Not sure where to look.
