Can you clarify when you would use the “Load Data” option versus the “Specify Data”? What’s the difference between how these two functions are handled?
Load Data: allows you to get data from data sources: No-Code Internal Tool Builder | Jet Admin
Specify data: allows you to get data from page components (like Table, Fields), transform them…

Question: when I use the “Specify Data” option, and if the data in the background changes and I click “Reload Data”, it resets the fields displayed in the component I’m using (whether it’s a table or detail), and then I have to reselect which fields I want displayed.
Is that the intended behavior? Could it be possible that the data gets reloaded without completely resetting the fields displayed in the component?
Well if the data was updated in the datasource, then it is a correct behavior to reset the values in the components
Circling back to the question about Specify Data reload…my question was about the fields or columns displayed in the component, not necessarily the data/values within the fields.
When a new field is added to the query, and I click reload in the Specify Data component, all fields displayed get reset as well, and I lose my selection of fields to display. I have to recheck and uncheck the fields I want displayed.
I was wondering if it is possible to reload and add the new field to the query without changing which fields are displayed in the component. Hope that makes sense.
