Hi Fabian,

You should probable recreate. You can also refresh page with the editor.

how do i recreate the service or refresh the editor?

[Kateryna Grynko]

Delete the old one and create it again, or press F5..

[Fabian Unruh]

when i delete the old one i loose all my connections to the service right? f5 does not update the columns in the service... or do i understand something wrong?

Fabian,

You would need to add desired columns in service response settings manually. It's not a bug, but a feature of services behaviour. They are based on the snapshot of the current state of the collection.

A feature? but wouldn't a better, not to mention obvious, feature allow the updating or refreshing of the service response to match that of the database columns? I have a similar problem whereby i rename a column but the service response shows only the old name.

... manually it is.

... for ALL my services.

Karl,

Unfortunately there is no other way, you have to do it manually.
