Hello,

I’ve followed the tutorials to create and update a data source. I have no issues when writing to my Google Sheets source. I then created a local table and set all pointers to it within the blocks etc. Everything works except there is no new entry when I add a client/employee.

During the Web Preview all of the fields are populated correctly and I am able to add new and then edit it, and I see the new entry in the Data Viewer List. When I close the Web Preview and go back in, or just open the data source, there is no new entry.

I changed everything back to the Google Sheet data source, and adjust the pointers and it works fine. I have the free version but haven’t seen any restrictions w.r.t data source.

Help Please

🙂
