I added a switch component to try out. It wasn’t what I needed so I deleted it, but the changes won’t go away. Basically, I have a collection grouped by “type”. Now, the item affected by switch is in it’s own group and the text is wrapped strangely? I tried undoing, resetting the data value, readding the switch to turn off. Nothing. Can anyone help? ---

I’m not quite following, would you mind adding a couple of screen shots? - Show the column in the Data Editor that the switch was writing to - Show what the collection looks like in the layout - Show how the collection is configured ---

That’s interesting. Are you sure there isn’t an extra space in the Type somewhere in row 1? What happens if you copy the value from row 2 and paste it into row 1? Where and how were you using the switch? ---

I tried that and nothing changed. But I just tried the opposite (copy row 1 to row 2) and that worked somehow? Did the same for the rest so grouping is fine now, but the text wrap is still off on that one item. ---

Not sure it will solve but what if you change the column type to something like number… save it… then back to text again. ---

Did the same for the rest so grouping is fine now, but the text wrap is still off on that one item. Okay, I think you might have been bitten by a known issue with copy/paste. The issue is that sometimes when you copy and paste a value that includes a space, Glide inserts additional non-visible unicode characters. Which can break things like relations, filters and grouping. Try typing the values out instead of pasting them. For a more robust option, I’d recommend creating a separate “Types” table, add a RowID to that table, and insert the RowIDs instead of the Type names into the above table.
