All the action text are displayed as expected only the first row does not… IT has the same exact structure as the rest This worked for several years and suddenly stopped. **Expected behavior:** - What should happen?

I think it’s because the value is empty. That first one is the only one that doesn’t show a value according to the dropdown in your screenshot and video. Is it true that the particular column in your data is empty? Glide usually will not show a component if there is no value to show, but there are ways around that. Since you have a lot of action text components, is it common that a value could be empty for any one of them, or would it only happen for the first one? ---

The value is not empty. I don’t know why Glide thinks it’s empty. ---

Do you have screenshots from the data editor showing that the column has a value in it? ---

First of all I want to thank you for trying to help me. I really appreciate it. I checked again and you were right 😉 The specific value WAS empty and that is why it didn’t show it (I have too much automation there and couple of tables that correlates to each other) Thank you again! ---
