We just finished rebuilding our Data Editor from scratch. It’s now 5x faster when it comes to scrolling & interacting.

It is certainly fast … but it won’t let me add Row Id columns anymore ☹

Hello  
Great  
As soon as Import & Export (excel, csv, database) is available, I use it.

@JackVaughan Its super fast! Great job!

Any insights into additional Glide table functionality:

- Array functionality
- Tab re-ordering
- Ability to delete tab
- Import data
- Copy & paste data

Thanks for reporting - we’re looking into this now.

@_eric there’s lots more we need to do with the data editor for sure. This is some fundamental groundwork which will help all those future features 👍🏽

Not sure if you’re aware that not only rowID has gone, but everything has gone! Except for the ‘basic’ types. Take a look.

Hmmm - strange. I still have them on my end. Please let me know if that’s still happening for you after [troubleshooting](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/etc/faq/sign-in-issues).

It’s not happening anymore, but all my RowID columns have turned into text columns…

@Mark Another bug: **See 9:25 below**. When adding a column to the end, as I type a column title, the column incrementally shifts off screen and anything I type isn’t registered:

@JackVaughan is this safe to “use in action” or do we await clarification regarding the funnies? I can’t risk live implementations.

Is it a bug that Row ID doesn’t work properly since yesterday?
