I have a database table with a key column. Every time I regenerate the columns (even when I donโ€™t make any changes to the column structure), AppSheet will un-check the โ€˜keyโ€™ box, and make a column โ€˜ComputedKeyโ€™

Also, in general, is there a way to disable AppSheet automatically making virtual columns?

I am using the Postgres connector by the way

Maybe that column is not unique in some way.

Try creating a TEXT column with an App Formula of UniqueID() and use that as the Key

I am already using UniqueID() in that column

@Pim_Sauter As an initial value?

Also iโ€™d check the values in that column to make sure they are all unique.

Yes, as initial value; and all entries are unique. Donโ€™t know whatโ€™s going on here
