Hello,  
I created column “Linked Record” into the table A,  
then I need to add a New column “Text” into the table A.

I cannot add the column “Text” with this Error message.  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/1/145e83fa15afcfeb69f79d474c76fa0b17550bde.png)

But I could add only the column “Linked Record”.

When I add a column “Linked Record” to a Tulip table, Can I edit the table?  
If I cannot edit the table, do I have to recreate the table?  
Is it just a problem with this table A?

Sorry I have a no idea. Please help me

In my opinion this should work.  
How manx columns do you already have?

Thank you for your reply  
I have 17 columns.  
I can only add a column “Linked Record”.

＞In my opinion this should work.  
I think it was a sudden problem.

What should I do if I find another table that I cannot edit?

at first I would try to rebuilt this issue with another two tables (link them and add columns).

Then I would discuss the result with the TULIP Support
