Column not available in form view but is available for slice

[Gaius]

I’ve added a new column to my data (we’ll call it “Apps Request”) and Regenerated Structure.

I have 6 views of interest for this data:

• Apps Request Form
• Apps Request Detail
• My Apps Request Form (slice)
• My Apps Request Detail (slice)
• My Assignments Request Form (slice)
• My Assignments Request Detail (slice)

I need to add the field to each form and detail screen, which I typically do by choosing the new column in the column selection area of the View and then dragging it so that it’s in the correct order.

However, when I went to add the field to the form, it’s not available everywhere.

• Apps Request Form - UNavailable
• Apps Request Detail - UNavailable
• My Apps Request Form (slice) - Available
• My Apps Request Detail (slice) - Available
• My Assignments Request Form (slice) - Available
• My Assignments Request Detail (slice) - Available

As you can see above, it’s available when I’m using a slice, but NOT for the views associated with the main data.

Screenshot: My Request form has the Customer Email field (I was able to add it)

Screenshot: This is the dropdown for the main detail view columns (not using a slice). Notice that Customer Email is not in the list.

I tried hard refreshing the page, saving again, and closing and reopening the AppSheet tab.

I hope I’m just missing something somewhere?

Does the column appear in the view if you select all other columns?

Did you scroll the column list?

Great questions!

The column did not appear in the view if I chose “All columns”.

And yes, I scrolled the column list (there are like 100 columns for this app, and I had to put different fields in different orders for the form, so I’m used to scrolling through the list). Additionally, I was able to find the fields in the My Requests and My Assignments views. Unfortunately, I can’t capture the whole scroll list of options in a screencap.

However, upon checking again this afternoon, the new column is now showing up.

I still think this is a bug, and that the column listing took a while to update for the table. So while this is “fixed” in the sense that I have the column, the actual problem was that the column did not show up in views for the main table for at least a few hours after I added the column.
