Swarup, I double checked and I see I had no data in my test table, that's why I observe different message. I also confused the property with the "Default value" property. It would be best if you add a bug report to bugs.kde.org then, thanks. In the report I will be can recommend a warkaround for you for changing the property without removing data. > > On 5/27/19 2:32 PM, Jaroslaw Staniek wrote: > > > > On Fri, 24 May 2019 at 00:40, Swarup <dinban...@sprynet.com> wrote: > >> I am using Kexi Version 3.1.0.
