Description
I tried to change the precision of the location data that was being saved through a form on the app. Now no new data is being written into that column, even if I change the settings to what they were originally.

How to replicate
Data from “use your location” component is being written to a column. I tried to edit the column to increase the precision display. When I saved that change all the existing collected data in that column was erased and now no new data location data is being save when someone submits information on the form.

What type of column are you saving the location to? Sounds like you may have changed it to a numeric column, but even though coordinates are numbers, they should be stored in a text column because they are two sets of numbers instead of one.

That fixed it! I don’t know why it worked at first when the column was set to numeric, but after I edited it it stopped working. Changing it to text fixed it - the data reappeared and the coordinates appeared on the map again.
