I’m trying to add a new field to a data type in my database. I was able to add it in the developer database, but it doesn’t show up in the live database. When I try to add it in the live database, it doesn’t appear. I don’t want to copy and restore to the live database because it will wipe out the other data I have there. How do I get my new field to appear in the live database?
Hi there,
You need to push your ‘Main’ dev branch (i.e. version-test) to Live - this will update changes made to the database structure without overwriting data.

Thank you! That appears to be the only dev branch I have, which is what I am deploying each time I deploy. It wasn’t showing up in the live DB after I deployed, but now it’s there! I guess maybe it just takes a little while?

It could be that showing what is in your database relies on cookies and that your browser hasn’t refreshed that particular cookie right after you deployed … many times when I contacted support for when something was off on my end I just had to refresh the cookies and the problem vanished 
Thank you! That makes sense. I just had another problem where my whole tool bar disappeared. Customer service told me to clear my cache and cookies, and it fixed the problem. So, that was probably what was causing the other problem too!
