Hi Molly,

We've managed to do our update, yay! But it's still not fixed this issue.

I've checked:
the "Default fields" secton and description is ticket
the advanced setting and all the tick boxes are ticked
the XML metadata and all of the and the tick boxes have inserted this, which looks okay:
<column columnName="Description">
<isHidden>false</isHidden>
<shownInInsertView>true</shownInInsertView>
<shownInUpdateView>true</shownInUpdateView>
<shownInDetailsView>true</shownInDetailsView>
</column>
the exp.materials schema and all of the advanced boxes are ticked and there's no additonal XML.

I am stuck. I'm so confused as it's coming up on the update form, just not the insert. I might just have to make my own field for now and not use the system field. Any other ideas?

Best,
Katy
