Is it possible that the problem comes from having multiple libraries?

just to expand on DrOh
If you want a custom column in each Library, you need to create it in each library. Libraries are standalone and
can be different.
Trick time
(assumes you want to use the same structure)
Start in a Library that has the desired structure (columns)
on the Library Icon: Create/ Switch: Create an empty Library at the new location. Tick The box <-- Copy Structure... Give it a name (you can change that later)
Now switch to the Library you want to have those columns. (stay with me here)
:caution: for the next step. If you have some(different) existing columns in the other Library, those column NAME
and type must be added to the new library ALSO before proceeding (switch to the New Library and add them, then switch back). Select All Books: Right-click: Copy to Library <new one>
What we did here was merged the old data into the new structure.
Verify all is good, then delete the Old Library FOLDER Using the OS (The delete on the Library Icon only deletes the Menu Link).
Now you can use the "Move Library..." to rename it if desired.
