You don’t regenerate “a” column, you regenerate all of the columns for the whole Table. What you’re probably doing is making too many changes to the column structure between each regeneration, so that Appsheet is not able to determine that column X from the old structure is the same as column Y from the new structure, and thus it doesn’t keep the column’s configuration.
I can’t detail every situation where such error would occur, but here is one situation where it definitely will.:
If you change a column’s name, and move it’s position in the backend, then regenerate, you’ve taken away both ways for Appsheet to match the new column to the old (name and position).
Here’s one tip:
If you need to rename a column, don’t do it with regeneration. Rename the column in the app, and the backend at the same time, then simply save the editor, don’t regenerate. Also, always keep the names matching between app and backend.
