Error Changing Select List Color: Data Type Settings Conflict

When I try to change the color on a select list, I am seeing this error "Cannot change data type settings while a data type settings change is already in progress"

The error you're seeing isn't directly related to changing the color of a select list. It suggests that there's already a data type change in progress for that column. Here's what you can try: 1. Wait a few moments and try again. The system might be processing a previous change. 2. Refresh your browser to ensure you're seeing the most up-to-date state of the table. 3. If the issue persists, try changing the data type: • Right-click the column • Select "Edit Column" > "Select Data Type" • Choose the appropriate data type • Click "Save Settings" If you're still encountering issues after these steps, you may need to request human assistance for further troubleshooting.

Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out! Ah gotcha, ran into something similar last night. Do you mind sending the link (url) to the table so we can take a look?

I'm also seeing this error in this table: https://app.clay.com/workspaces/493620/workbooks/wb_K2cQQAdqxgb6/tables/t_NDvWCZmUtGiC/views/gv_DMTwsBSD4rfJ I was creating additional options and updating colors so not sure what triggered it. I haven't been able to add new options or make other changes since.

Hey, I just tried to replicate the issue on my end but didn’t run into the same problem. Could you let me know if you’re still seeing the error? Happy to dig deeper if it’s still happening.

We're talking about issues with a select list, not changing the color of a column.
