Anyone else noticed that occasionally when you create a RowID column it isn’t created correctly, and winds up being a Basic Text column?
This only just started happening recently. It doesn’t happen all the time, just sometimes.
Support Link for an app where it’s happened recently.
Update: I guess I should clarify. Yes, a RowID column is a Basic Text column by definition. But in these cases, it doesn’t behave as a RowID column. That is, it doesn’t auto-populate with RowID’s.
yep, it happens to me too!
also it goes back sometimes like i would click undo… and elements disappears sometimes… and data is not showing in editor
Yes I see this from time to time
+1
EDIT
But for me the RowId is working fine
(well for the moment 
)
@Darren_Murphy In that app from the support link, which table did it happen in?
The afflicted table was Accidents
…but I think I may have already deleted the column and added it again
It’s happened to me before too…rarely, but it did.
Actually @mark, if you look at that Accidents table now, there is a Basic column (Basic/Updated By ID) that thinks it is a RowID column. ie. it’s full of RowID’s
I did, but after navigating to the dashboard and then opening the app in the builder again, it’s now normal.
But, I also took a screenshot of the Google Sheet earlier on:
You can see it there - with RowID’s in column A, and in Column J 
How often does it happen that you create a Row ID column and it becomes a text column?
Not often, very random, i don’t remember what i was doing before that happened
We’ll fix it, but it’ll be a few weeks. In the mean time, if you reload Glide, you should see that the Row ID column is actually a Row ID column. If not, let me know.
What i always do is to delete that column in GS and make a new one
Thanks Mark 
@mark - this issue appears to have re-surfaced.
Support Link: Glide
This afternoon, I added two new (GSheet) tables:
With both tables, it’s taken me 2-3 attempts at adding a RowID column before it actually “sticks”. I tried your earlier advice of exiting to the dashboard and then opening the app in the builder again, but that didn’t help.
And then just now, this happened:
The above screen shot was taken after I had attempted to add a User Specific Column. I had added the RowID column several minutes earlier (after a couple of attempts), and it appeared that it had finally stuck. But apparently not.
I clicked the “Add Row ID” button, and wound up with two of them:
The weird thing is - I had already added a User Specific Column (usc/user-id) a few minutes earlier - you can see that column in the first screen shot. 
Closing due to inactivity.
This was never fully resolved, and still happens regularly.
I’ll try to capture a video.
