My data inside Glide for 3 columns in a tab from my Google Sheet have merged into one inside Glide. I’d like to keep the columns as is. How can I fix in Glide?

Thanks!

I assume you name them something like Item 1, Item 2, Item 3.

- You can try to not put them next to each other on the sheet.
- You can still edit them inside Glide in an edit screen, entries can be pointed to individual columns.

Correct on how I named the columns.

Put a blank column between them and it solved. Much thanks!
