Problem conclusion
The code that populates External Link Attributes in the list view so that the user could display these attributes in analysis columns has been changed to populate only non-system attributes AND the following system attributes (Normal non-system object-level attributes also apply to external links.): 1). Created By 2). Created On 3). Created Thru 4). Last Modified By 5). Last Modified On The reason for this is that other system attributes that are applicable to objects are NOT applicable to External links since External Links themselves are considered as objects having their own attributes.
