Summary
On a Cloud instance, a table is only displaying 2 of the expected 4 columns, and there's a question of whether a space in a column name is the cause.
AI Response
A space in the key/column name is a plausible culprit ā Retool can fail to map or display a column when its underlying key contains a space unless it's referenced with bracket notation (e.g. {{ item['Column Name'] }}) in the column's Mapped value. If the missing columns aren't auto-generating, confirm each expected key exists in the source data and add the columns manually, mapping them with bracket notation. Another proven fix for columns that silently fail to render is to reset the table's data source (switch it to something else, then back to the original query), which forces the columns to regenerate correctly.

A solved thread showing that column keys containing spaces must be referenced with bracket notation (e.g. {{ item['Product Name'] }}) to display correctly, directly matching the space-in-column-name hypothesis.
