I’m encountering a UI rendering issue and would appreciate help understanding the cause.
**Issue summary:**
- A `Single Value` column (e.g., `Detail_Info_1`) correctly shows data in the **Data Editor**.
- However, in the **Peek-a-boo inspector** , the same column appears **blank**.
- As a result, a `Text` component bound to this column displays nothing in the UI.
- The screen is a **Details screen** reached via “Show Detail Screen → This Item” from a Collection.
- I confirmed the screen is pointing to the expected row and the column exists in the data scope.
I’ve tried switching the column type to `Text` and `Template`, but the result is the same.
Any insight on whether this could be a row context or data propagation issue would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Is the single value column retrieving from a row that the user does not own due to Row Owners?

No. The user owns the row (Row Owner is correctly set to `User Email`)

Can you show how you have the column configured?

**The column is configured as follows:**
- **Type** : Single Value
- **Value** : First
- **From Column** : A text column (`DetailReason_Test`) used for testing purposes
The `DetailReason_1` column pulls its value from `DetailReason_Test`, which contains static text. This setup is temporary due to update quota restrictions that prevent AI-generated text from populating dynamically.
In the **Data Editor** , `DetailReason_1` shows the correct value.
However, when bound to a **Text component** on a **Detail screen** (accessed via “Show Detail Screen → This item” from a Collection), the component renders nothing.
Additionally, **Peek-a-boo also shows `DetailReason_1` as blank** , even though the correct value is visible in the Data Editor.

I just ran into the same issue trying to display a single value through a template. Can you use a lookup instead?

I even tried with a simple text column for a test, and even that didn’t work, so I don’t think that’s the issue here. The value shows in the Data Editor but doesn’t render in the detail screen.
What’s particularly strange is that **some columns from the same table display correctly** , while **others — especially newly created ones — do not show up at all** in the UI, even when the data exists. This makes the issue quite confusing.

So its not rendering in the editor, Is it rendering on the published page? I have had elements with css applied not render in the editor but show on the live page.

I noticed something important:
When I view the row in Peek-a-boo, the computed column (e.g., a Single Value or Template column) appears blank, even though it shows correctly in the Data Editor.
However, if I manually input a value into the same column directly inside the Peek-a-boo interface, the value is correctly rendered on screen.
This suggests that the issue is not with the column type per se, but that the screen is unable to access the computed column’s value in the current row context — possibly due to how the data is resolved between Collection → Detail → Text component.

Might be obvious already, but do you have any filters on the screen level where you’re trying to display the text? I assume since you can see it, you have the right filter to the right row.
If it doesn’t work, you can invite me to the team so I can check it for you if it doesn’t violate any terms on your side.

Thank you for your response and willingness to help. After doing some investigation on my own, I realized this was not an issue a user could resolve directly. So, I did what any developer should do in this situation—I changed the workflow and rebuilt the screens using a new table. Everything is now working fine.
Thanks again for your support.
