Hi, I am very new to Bubble and not a coder. One field for one database entry I uploaded via csv needs to be changed. I am trying to do it the easy way by manually just changing it (as this is just a test version), but am not seeing the field displayed in the app data view even though it is displaying in the preview mode Can you please help me see what I am doing wrong? Thanks! ---

Are you sure you are mapping it to one of the fields in your bubble table? Can you post a screenshot? ---

I thought your problem was at the import CSV time. I am not seeing a screenshot of that. However, if you are missing a field in your view, simply create a NEW VIEW and make sure that field you want is selected. So what is the name of the field missing? ---

Okay, there are multiple fields missing. In fact, the current view cuts off everything that alphabetically occurs after “Name”, i.e. any field with a name starting with n after “name”. I will do what you suggested. Thank you! ---

Interesting! When you say view, do you mean after you click on the little PENCIL icon to the left of the record? ---

I clicked the pencil on the right of the database in the app data view and it then showed me that not all fields were selected for current view. I didn’t set that view and don’t know how it got set but I now see how powerful this can be. Thanks!
