I have a ‘Date & Time’ component linked to a specific column in a ‘Data Table’, because I want whatever Date & Time entry i select in a Detail screen, it automatically input that entry into the respective Data Table cell. It does this, at least at first, but then disappears out of the ‘Data Table’ a few seconds later - why is this, why does the entry not stick ?

> Hi, i have a ‘Date and Time’ component set-up in one Layout Page, that when i choose a date & time entry (ususally as if wanting entry logged for ‘now’ entry) does link back and update a relevant row/column cell, as part of a particular ‘Data Table’, which is fine. However, this same ‘Date Table’, is itself a link from an external Excel (Sharepoint) worksheet, but does not correspondingly update with the same Date & Time entry showing in the linked Glide Data Table, of the row/column cell - why…

Is it the same problem you described in the post a day ago?
