Column type change is not displaying data correctly

Problem

Whenever a column is changed from one type to another, the column type change is not reflected in the table.

Example: Changing column type from integer to number does not display numbers.

Reason

The column has been created as an a certain column type in the database.

Type change such as

  • Textarea to String

  • Number to Integer

  • Integer to String



Solution

Change the columnidentifier or the associated name (col.xyz.name).
