SOLVED
I am running an existing workflow. It ran fine yesterday and is running fine today and giving results but fields do not show up in the configuration column for the summary tool. Anyone else facing the issue? I am on Version: 2023.2.1.133 Patch: 3

I'm guessing you have already run the workflow in your Desktop Designer? Sometimes the metadata doesn't display when I initially open a workflow, until I actually run it.
I think there have been times when I've had to:
- Close and re-open the workflow
- Close and re-open Alteryx
- Delete and re-add a tool
If you have to delete and re-add the tool, and you don't know what the tool configuration used to look like, try one of these tricks:
- Under Options > User Settings > Edit User Settings > Advanced, turn on the option for Display XML in Properties Window. Then click on the problem tool, and click the button for XML View for that tool and see if the configuration shows the fields that were previously defined.
- If you haven't saved the workflow, see if the Tool's configuration shows the fields that were previously defined using one of these options:
- View the XML for the entire workflow under Workflow Configuration > XML View, and use the Find option to find the Tool Id
- Use a text editor like Notepad++ to open the .YXMD file and search for the Tool Id
