Lately, every time I open the “data” tab in an App, I see this data table, but it’s not actually in my list of tables – actually, I was wrong about that. It’s the last table, so because I have so many tables I did not see it right away…

Is there an ‘expert mode’ to turn this off? If it confused me, it’s sure to confuse new users of Glide.

**EDIT**  
Wow, even worse, it becomes the default table for any new collection added to the screen…

_ **EDIT 2** _  
Pretty sure this table was introduced (created) by Glide when I used the “make new App from Data” to create an App out of my Classic App’s data.

So it was a table that was added from your “Classic App”? How do you expect a change that would benefit you in this scenario?

No. It was created by glide out of thin air when I Created the new app. I see no benefit it’s a quirk.

I’m not sure what you mean. Glide created this table for you, not you created it yourself?

Possibly the table was created from this location… Navigation \> + \> Sample Screens. If you use the plus button to add a new screen for Navigation there are a few sample screens you can add from Glide. (They’re actually pretty cool 🕶)

Those new sample screens come with an underlying table. I can’t be for certain but based on the title of your table “Costs for 2022 (sample)” it sounds like it may be the cause.

No I literally just said create new app from data. I wanted the data for my new project . What you’re saying is pretty nice but that’s not what I did

Pretty sure what you said is mostly correct. When I click the “Dashboard” sample, it brings me this table.

Possibly David tried this function at some point?

No this happened immediately after I created the app from data

I can’t reproduce that at all. Can you try reproducing that with a lightweight app on your end?
