**My App/Pages support link:**

- [Glide](https://go.glideapps.com/support/008b209f-9ffe-48c6-9873-37f05369a05d)

**Describe the bug:**

- A ‘cycle of dependencies’ error prevents me from swapping out column references in computed columns. This is an issue because if I create the column from scratch, all of the uses built around the column are removed.

**Expected behavior:**

- It should allow me to make the change as desired because when I create the computed column from scratch, or complete the change after clicking ‘duplicate’ it works absolutely fine.

**How to replicate:**

- Click “STB Inventory” glide table.
- Locate the “if\_owned-purchased-returned” computed column (4 columns from the end).
- Edit the column as shown in the video to include a reference to “Look\_Membership length”
