Hello everyone,  
I really need help with ,Get device info". I need to get device name, but in the columns, there is just nothing. I have tried using button, to get it there, but that is not working either.  
Thank you!

May we know what is your use case for using the DeviceName variable?

As is mentioned in the [documentation](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/integrations/device-info):

 ![CleanShot 2023-06-18 at 10.26.06@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/f/2f199a7d350258598155c71332e21547ebd2dd54.png)

Device name in particular seems to be one attribute that is not widely supported. As @ThinhDinh alluded to though, depending on your use case you might be able to use some other attribute.

I want to use it to show users devices connected to their account. I think the device name is the best for this.

Oh I didn’t notice that, thank you! I think I will need to use something different.
