Custom Column not working

I just readjusted all of my Libraries after completely removing MicroSoft One Drive from my laptop. However, the custom column I had in my Calibre to show whether a book had a summary in the metadata isn't showing like it should. It used to show a green icon for having one or a red check if it didn't. Now, however, all I can get is a blank column.

I think it could be that the icon isn't set or isn't found at the expected location.

Seems all you need to do is create a new rule in Look and Feel -> Column icons

How do I do that? I've never had to set an Icon rule and don't have the foggiest idea how.

Did you set the column manually, or was it set automatically based on presence/absence of the Comments column having some text?

Please post a screenshot of the column definition. Use the paper clip to attach the image to your reply, viz:

Yep, that tells us that you've been setting the column manually. Is that the only custom column you have, if not are the others OK?

Is the setting I've boxed below, checked or unchecked?
