<p>Please see <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2464849#comment-9810907">this thread </a>I opened in core.</p>
<p>Quick summary: after performing the update from 7.x-2.0-alpha2 -> 7.x-2.0-alpha3, I lost all of my administrative titles for views fields, and the links would only go through to the first of those fields. For example, if I added two global custom text fields, and gave both a unique administrative title, neither administrative title would appear in the field list, and the link for both would go only to the settings for the first. This renders Views very difficult to work with on any site that uses multiple fields or administrative titles. See attached image.</p>
<p>After much thread pulling and some disaster, I stepped through a number of updates, and have narrowed it down to the Ember update. After digging through the Ember update, believe it may be caused by views-related code in the themes/ember/template.php file. For example, this code appears particularly suspicious to me:</p>

<p>I'm still working to get my dev site back online, but wanted to get this posted in the meantime in case anybody else is having the issue. Rolling ember back to 7.x-2.0-alpha2 seems to resolve the issue.</p>
