when I use Bench Mysql, then Show Tables;, the table of Tables_in_1bd3e0294da19198 has tabEmployee.

I’ve no idea why it’s saying the table doesn’t exist and how it can be solved.

Btw, I use ERPNext inside Docker.

Yes I use this form to create the new field. However, after the creation, then the error prompt and saying the table is missing. I don’t know what happens and can’t sort out a solution to fix this.

@lincogn,

How about use the Customize Form?

Hi ,
I think you need to select Datatype > data instead of table

7

It’s strange, this problem seems happens only occur in the first edit of Employee form. May I know how can I restore the employee table in this case? If mysql shows there is a table already, how the system link back to the employee table?

Hi ,

Can you share me the screen shoot of that custom-filed which you created

9

It cannot be created now as the table cannot be linked already. It’s believed there is some issue on the docker and I am figuring out what happens.

I use the following docker / image to build the system:

Confusing…
