It’s expected that computed columns will not carry over when reusing an existing table with another app.

I explain what I think is happening with RowID’s here. Because the same RowID is maintained behind the scenes, that’s why user specific columns work between both apps.

> Glide tables technically have a RowID already built in. Adding a RowID column just exposes and makes visible the RowID that was already assigned to the row. That is of course different from Google sheets, where RowID’s are not generated until you add the RowID column. So in your case, it’s possible that glide didn’t deem it necessary to show the RowID column since it was already there behind the scenes. That’s probably why you got the same ID’s once you added the column to the table. I woul…

Not sure about Row Owners. It probably loses the designation but resetting the column as a row owner column should work just fine, unless maybe you are using anonymous emails and you get assigned a different anonymous email in the second app. I’m not sure though.

As for renaming, I’m sure the table name is just a cosmetic thing on the surface. In reality there is probably an underlying ID that is the same in both apps, so it remains as the same table between apps, but the name you see is more than likely tied to the app itself. If a data change from one app is reflected in the other app, then I don’t think you should have a problem.
