in a write to table i forgot to put last name in the write to table, if i add last name here and re-reun it will overwrite everything or will it just add another last name column?

When you add a new column like last name to a write to table and re-run it, it won't overwrite everything. Instead, it will add the new last name column to the existing data. However, if you're experiencing issues with the write to table function, you might need to take a few steps: 1. Delete the affected column 2. Create a fresh column 3. Re-map your data to the write-to-other table Make sure auto-dedup is activated in the other table to avoid duplicates. Remember, write to table is designed to structure and link data effectively, so adding a new column shouldn't disrupt your existing data.
