    The error you're experiencing might be due to a temporary issue after changing the column type. Here's how you can try to resolve it: 1. Perform a hard refresh of your browser: โ€ข On Windows: Press Ctrl + Shift + R โ€ข On Mac: Press Cmd + Shift + R This often helps resolve display issues and errors related to column changes. If the problem persists after refreshing, you can try these steps: 1. Delete the affected column 2. Create a fresh column with the desired 'Select' data type 3. Re-enter your data in the new column Remember, when changing a column's data type: 1. Click on the column title 2. Hover over the current data type 3. Select 'Select' from the dropdown options If you still encounter issues, please request human assistance by clicking on "Talk to a person" for further support.

    Hard refresh didn't work, the whole table it not openable. Thus, i cannot change columns.
