Hi All,
Im very new to OS. I have imported couple of excel files into Outsystems but now I have an updated file with few more attributes. When Im updating the excel or bootstrapping the new data is not reflecting in OS.

Hi @ibox ,
im asking regrading updating the attributes. If I want to add new attribute to existing entities im facing issues.
hi bootstrap only happen if no data in the entity- if there is already data, cannot be updated.

Let me explain you better
I have employee excel with Name, Email and Phone which I have imported in OS.
Now I need to add a new column, region into the same table. how can I achieve this.
just add attribute in the entity:

But its just blank whereas I have data in excel.
Hello,
How exactly do you plan to achieve this? Do you want to delete the records that were already bootstrapped and import them again with the additional attributes, or do you want to keep them and just update them with the values for the new attributes?
The first approach is probably the simplest one. All you would have to do is change the bootstrap logic to make sure it's reading the new attributes from the Excel and correctly assigning them to your entity.
If you've already done this but it's still not working, then you're going to have to share more details for us to be able to help you. Can you post your OML or at least some screenshots showing your bootstrap logic?
