This also affects Jira Software projects' lists.

Since the creation of this feature request there have been a few updates and more custom field types can be added to the list view. From our documentation page Customize your list by adding or removing fields:

• Date picker
• Date time picker
• Number field
• Select field (single select)
• Select field (multiple select)
• Text field (single line)
• Text fields (multi-line)
• URL field
• User picker (single user)
• Text field (Read Only)

At the moment some other custom fields are not available in the list view, like the Sprint field.

This is a limitation by design as mentioned in the documentation page View your work in a list:
"You can currently only add single line text fields, URLs and user types. Learn more about setting up custom fields." and due to this this request was converted from Bug to Suggestion to gauge the interest in having all field types available here.

Custom fields created by Advanced Roadmap such as Target start & Target end are not supported in List view too.
