Bug Reports
#1

Hi,
I am trying to make make a todo list app. I have already made the design and created a data table. The problem is when I am trying to add a new column in the data table, as soon as I click @Add Text column@

the drop-down list disappear but no column being created. I don’t know how to fix this. I’ve tried resetting my computer a few times, thought it had some internet connecting issues, but there’s still the problem.
Any helps would be appreciated.

Not possible to add column to table

Hi Nuchy,

Sorry this isn’t working - that’s definitely a bug. Are you able to open the JavaScript console in your browser and see if there are any errors displaying when you try to add a column?

Hey Ian,

I am experiencing the same issue (can’t create new column in any app). Here is the JS console output:

Same things happen if I try to get around the issue by allowing columns to be auto-generated. That is, I get an internal error and no column is created. Anvil output:

Automatically creating column "user_download" (string)

I am unable to add a column in my data table either, nothing shows up in my javascript console, I don’t even get the context menu asking what variable type I want to assign the column. First time user, please help! Thanks!
