[OpenFOAM] Paraview reads magU but paraFoam does not!

Hello there
I have modified scalarTransportFoam in order to also write velocity magnitude (named magU) in time directories.
By paraFoam, magU is not selectable in coloring menu(fig 1), while it is accessible when using paraview (fig 2) It is worth noting that in both cases, magU is selected in fields (fig 3)

Solved!
The problem was that when prompting paraFoam, it starts from "0" where no magU is written into.
On the other hand, when prompting paraview, it starts from the directory right after "0" where magU is written into.
Therefore, magU is also selectable in paraFoam for all times but not "0".
