Hey everyone, I’m running into an issue when trying to update the size of an existing column in my Appwrite database. I’m trying to change the size from 30 to 50, but when I click “Update” in the console, I get the following error

Invalid index attribute "" not found

The column already exists, and I’m only changing its size — not its type or index. Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it so the update goes through successfully?

TL;DR
Developers encountering an error when updating column size in Appwrite database. The error "Invalid index attribute not found" appears when attempting to change column size. Reconfirm column existence and ensure solely size is being modified, not type or index. Solution: Check and adjust only the size attribute when updating the column.
