You need to update fields if you changed the schema of a table (or tables) in a data source or manually deleted fields from a dataset.
To update fields in a dataset:
Warning
If you use a new DataLens object model with workbooks and collections:
- In the left-hand panel, select
- Open the appropriate workbook and select an object.
Follow the guide from step 2.
- In the left-hand panel, click
- In the top-left corner, select the Fields tab.
- At the top of the screen, click Update fields.
Replace a field
If a field has been removed from a data source, it will not be updated when a dataset is updated. A chart based on this dataset will display the ERR.DS_API.DB.COLUMN_DOES_NOT_EXIST
error.
To fix the error, replace the field in the dataset:
- In the left-hand panel, click
- In the top-left corner, select the Fields tab.
- In the dataset, select the field you want to replace.
- Go to the Field source column.
- In the field settings, select the field you wish to replace the deleted field with from the Field from source list.
