Adding back column with same ID after deletion

Try it! Then add a comment with the mutation and whether it worked. Share your findings🙃

Hey! I tried it. Only getting graphql error that the “column id is invalid”. I’m guessing the logic is that since the column is in trash and can be added back, same id is not being allowed. Not sure though.

Hello there @manishaghosh,

Once an ID is used for a column, it can not be used again (even if the column is deleted).

Cheers,

Creating column ids as GUIDs or incrementing integers from the start would stop all this confusion.

I’ve read several posts on here where people think that the column id means something, whereas in reality, it’s just an id that happens to initially look similar to the column name/title on creation.
