Hello,  
I need to edit the ID ROW of a client,  
I can’t edit ID from the glide table, and if I edit it from Google Sheet… it syncs back to the old ID.  
Is there a solution to this?

why do you need to edit a row id???  
it is a reference for relations!  
create another column with a separate ID, leave glide row ID alone… lol

I have comments that were with a different ID… I need to include this ID in order for it to appear in the application.

The editing feature was previously available and I performed the same process for other clients.

When I edit the ID from Google Sheet, the comments appear in the application, but after half a minute the old ID comes back and the comments disappear

yes, because are stored on the glide server, do not touch them, create another row id for your purposes like syncing with other apps
