Forms Designer Icon not showing

for one of my developers the Forms Designer Icon is not appearing on a specific list. For me it shows on this list, and the developer sees it on other lists, just not this one.

I have seen in a similar post where the recommendation is to use the client-based application to start Forms Designer. While this workaround is better than nothing,, it is NOT a FixI would like to see a resolution.

Dear skiptheb,
You are still using Desktop application, just open it from the browser, am I correct? Not sure what is causing it, is there anything specific about this list that makes it different from other lists? And finally, what's the version of your SharePoint?

Sp Version :
15.0.4971.1001

Yes is what we want (open desktop application from icon on List in browser)

List is normal, nothing special.

Thanks

Okay, so it's SP On-Premises. Try to deactivate Forms Designer collection feature and activate it again. I do not guarantee it will solve the issue, but it's worth a try.
