Primary field disapeared

I created a formula field that amalgamates 2 other fields to display together
Fairly simple:

field(‘field1’) + ’ - ’ + field(‘field2’)

I did this because I wanted the primary field that sticks to the left-hand side of the screen to display 2 specific pieces of information that could always be easily-referenced when scrolling through each row of data.

After creating the field, I clicked on the primary field, then “change primary field”, then selected my new field (field name was “Job + Customer”). Upon selecting the new field, the primary field disapeared, and the formula field I just created is gone, and seems to have completely removed itself from my table altogether.

I am not able to set anything else as the primary field, so I am stuck with a table with no primary fields at all. It also affects the other views in the table, they’re unable to change the primary field.

I will attempt to export the table shortly to see if there’s some modifying I can make to the JSON output and potentially re-import with the correct settings, but I figured I’d bring this bug up here incase anyone has a solution.

Hi @bud, are you using the Baserow SaaS version at baserow.io?

I’m currently running a self-hosted 1.27.2 on a docker instance managed by Easypanel.

HI @bud,

is this the issue you have? Primary field becomes invisible when set to a hidden field (#3168) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab

We fixed it in version 1.29.0. Could you upgrade your instance version?
Otherwise you might have to create a new grid view and change the primary field from there.

Ha, that’s exactly it! Thanks, I’ll update my instance here shortly.
Appreciate your help
