Hello,  
I have a data base on Airtable. This works decent untill i add new info. After i click update it looks like it’s updating but it does nothing. The only way i’ve found is to delete the data base and reinstall it.

Am i doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Greetings,  
Freek Apeldoorn

Please post a screenshot of your blocks. I don’t know what you mean by “After I click update.”

Does the table (in your screenshot) get updated with the new data?

If so, where is the problem occuring? If not, then it sounds like a bug with the Sync with Source button.

The **Sync with Source** button does not update the data content. This button only update the database structure.

As an example, if you add a column in your Airtable then this new column will not be reflected to Thunkable until you `Sync the Airtable table again`.

And how would I do this? Because I only taught there was the sync with source button!

View your table in Airtable directly. Or add a DVL (Data Viewer List) to your screen and bind it to the table / columns you want to check.
