Not possible to add column to table

[lars.bjorkhaug]

I have a few tables with quite a lot of data. When I try to add a new column to any of those tables in the editor (beta) nothing happens. I first thought it could be due to tables being shared between solutions but it also happens to tables that only are used in one solution. I’ve seen this question raised a few times before so I hope there is a fix. I’ve also tried to create the missing column from python but despite having opened for columns to be automatically created if missing, i still get an error message telling “automatic column creation is disabled”

I’ve tested in the old editor as well. Same result there. I cannot add columns to most of the tables. Regardless if they are shared or not. There are quite a few similar requests all marked as solved but its not obvious for me what the solution was. Any help would be much appreciated as I’m stuck for the moment.

[FIXED] Users Service - Can't Add Columns

See attached video - it looks like something is happening (you can just see a shade change above the button but below the blue bar) but no menu appears. Works fine on the Data Tables for everything else, it just seems to be the Users service. [Peek%202019-02-11%2015-50] Ubuntu 18.10, Chrome

[FIXED] Cannot add columns to Data Tables

I’m trying to create a data table for my app and when I press the “add column” button, nothing happens. I opened up the javascript console and no errors are returning - it seems like the button itself has been disconnected from its function. help, please. Thanks, Kevin

[FIXED] Can't add a new column into a data table

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@ [anvil] 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. Nuchy

In all of those you linked, the solution was for the Anvil folks to fix whatever bug was causing the problem.

To help the Anvil folks narrow down the cause of the issue, it helps if you can provide a clone link for a project that exhibits the problem, and to clarify if it’s all tables, only some tables, etc. There might be something in the makeup of the tables that are having issues.

For what it’s worth, I’m not having the issue in my projects, so it’s definitely not something global that affects all apps/tables.

Thanks for the update. I’m not able to recreate the problem in a new app so I guess the problem is related to a few particular tables with data I cannot share in a clone link. I guess the next step would be to email support directly. It’s good to hear its not a common problem.
