Conventionally, if you create a new column to a Dataverse table and to reflect the column in the forms and views, you have to manually open each form and view in edit mode, and the column.

With the new Update forms and views preview feature, in one button click, you will be able to add the columns you created to forms and views of this table

What is ‘Update forms and views’ using table designer preview feature:

With this new feature, we can

• Create columns directly in the table hub or table designer, and use the Update forms and views option.
• ‘Update forms and views’ option will add the columns to to your forms and views in a single click.
