Symptom
- Adding a related entity from custom schema causes the query to fail.
- Error message: "We are unable to find the selected table or column in the database."
Environment
- Data Modelling - Module & Entity Data Issues
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a Story report.
- Drag and drop any object from Custom schema
- Select any field
- Preview the Story report and observe the error.
Cause
- A custom schema in the destination instance had the same name as a previously used schema except for letter case (case-only difference). A lingering backend reference to the earlier casing caused the system to treat them like duplicates, leading to the "table or column not found" error when building the query.
Resolution
- Review custom schemas names across all relevant instances (for example, source and destination after a refresh) and identify any case-only duplicates.
- Align and keep custom schema names synchronized across instances to prevent case-only naming conflicts, especially after instance refreshes or configuration transports.
