Disappearing table object field as intended behavior of "Save layout" option in bookmarks?

Hi all,

1. I created a sheet with a one table object
2. End users have bookmarks with "Save layout" checked on top of that sheet with reordered fields in table and some filters applied
3. I added a new field to that table and published it
4. When they apply bookmark, filters and the sorting of fields is applied correctly, but what I see as a problem is that the newly added field disappears from the table.

In other words, end users see a new field in the table until mentioned bookmark is applied. I tried this also on the cloud, where it is the same. Is this intended behavior or a bug? Thanks in advance for the answer.

Hello @JacovCohenQ ,

The reported defect my colleague's @Daniele_Purrone is referring to, was closed as WAD (working as designed). Later, when talking to R&D, I received the following explanation.
------------
This is WAD (working as designed).
When you store layout state you create a patch on the table that restores the appearance of the table to the way it was when the bookmark was saved, this means that changes coming in later will not be visible when the bookmark is used.

The patch is cleared when the session ends, or if you apply a bookmark with another layout state (but not if you apply a bookmark without layout state or change the selections).

If the user needs the new columns the best (or only) way is to recreate the bookmark with the new content visible.

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for your reply and for the information.
Is this true for both SaaS and On-Prem environments?
