Hi! is there is an update of a column of the local DB that can be inserted up to 20 columns? ![Screenshot_2020-01-31_22-23-59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/3/f3bf181748f9e67ab5abfdd94afdb3dba0ae1424.png) Thanks for your response 🙂 ---

Hey @junjoseph, I’m not aware of any limit (but perhaps you’ve discovered it) Do you have an idea of how many column you’re going to need here? ---

I can only put 10 columns on it as maximum for row of data. ---

Got it. So, do you know how many columns you’ll need in your app? ---

Hi, I easily added 35 columns and this was not the limit. ---

Any ideas why @junjoseph is finding it difficult to add more than 10? ---

The path will try to do this: first copy 50 columns of data from Excel to Local DB, and then create the desired number of columns in Local DB ---

anyway @domhnallohanlon I decided to create a spreadsheets database for more data of customization and to fully customize for data. Thanks for help! ---
