I have created in thunkable designer a table as datasource.  
In the code I will add a new data in the table. I add one with the web preview and live test on device.

but I will not see the new data in data in the design.

Therefore I will ask about my error.  
kindly regards

Hello @haiflosse15  
It is not possible to see the data stored from the app, inside the local data source table as you can see with Google Sheets and Airtable.

@steve_synopsis The data are stored locally on the device’s memory.

Even during development on Thunkable you don’t see the data.

@steve_synopsis Yes, this is the expected behavior for local tables
