Same here, I can´t add or edit column
Yes, same. Exactly the same.
Just started happening in the past 24 hours or so.
I’ve seen it in multiple apps.
I’m working around it at the moment by doing a full browser refresh.
Annoying.
Does it only happen when you add multiple columns in rapid succession?
Depends on your definition of rapid succession…
But thinking about it, yes - I’d say it’s been most noticeable more likely to happen when I’ve been in the process of adding multiple columns.
Well, I wouldn’t call it rapid succession, but it definitely occurred when I was adding columns in succession. This was born of my frustration with a previous app that somehow appears to have gotten corrupted because it just wouldn’t write to Google consistently. So, I started the a new app entirely in glide tables - which means I need to create a number of columns in succession.

Same thing. It originated with a succession of columns, yes. Usually glide catches up and I can just do a couple refreshes and I’m back to where I was, but this time it’s not working. See the link above with my video.
Actually, try this…
- Add columns in the GDE until you get an uneditable one
- Immediately switch to the Layout View → Data
- Make an edit to the column you just created - change it to a date column or something
- Switch back to the GDE, and that column is now editable
That seems to work reliably for me
Edit:
Or maybe not… because even though you can edit the column, you’re stuck with a basic column.
But, I can’t replicate the original issue any more. I just added about 20 columns in quick succession and it worked perfectly. Maybe it’s been fixed already?
Ah! I’m not the only one them. I was about to throw my mac through the window!
If you do, please throw it this way. I could use a spare
This is becoming increasingly frustrating. A 5 minute job turns into 15 minutes with all the backwards and forwards and refreshing and reloading and in and out and swearing and cursing
Same. No response / feedback from Glide Team as yet?
David is aware of it (see earlier in the thread), but no news regarding a fix that I’m aware of.
Actually had a quick but heavy Glide session today and not a single instance of this issue … maybe
yeah, it does seem to be a bit intermittent - the worst kind of bug to try and squash.
But when it’s bad, it’s really really bad.
So much so, that I have abandoned several Glide projects. I can’t waste my time this way. I hope to come back to them some time soon. But this, along with several other weird problems I’ve been experiencing since the recent update have made the platform untenable. I’m still in the first 1/3rd of my development cycle and wondering if I should cut my losses and find a different platform.
Given that this issue is intermittent, I wonder if it is network related?
ie. perhaps there’s something in the new Glide builder that doesn’t cope well with intermittent or poor network connectivity?
…just thinking out aloud
I originally thought the same thing (network connectivity). But the pattern of behavior (insofar as I could tolerate it) pointed to NPNP (the term I just coined for not-purely-network-problem). I experience no such problems anywhere else in the GDE or when running my app through the GDE. To my admittedly-ignorant eyes, it’s specific to this function.
I’m not coming back, quite yet. But I’ll watch here to see how things progress.
Was this ever resolved?
Experiencing something similar where I can’t edit the Name Column of item.
It even starts to break my forms that are set to edit the column.
I noticed that if I right-click on the column header in data-editor, and just hit “done” with out changing anything, I can edit the column for a few minutes.
