Unable to set a dataset column's datetime format
Bug description
Superset version in use: 2.1.0
We are trying to mark a temporal column in a dataset as 'epoch_s'. However, when we select edit dataset > columns we don't really see a drop down option next to the column name to make this change. Can someone please look into it ? Do we need some permissions to be able to see this option ?
Current behavior:
- No drop down menu seen next to the column name
How to reproduce the bug
- Go to any dataset
- Select edit dataset > columns

Just confirming... your description says you're running master/latest and it also says 2.1.0. Which is the case? This doesn't seem to be a problem in 3.x, and we no longer support 2.x, so I'm tempted to close this.
@rusackas We are using 2.1.0 version. Would really appreciate if you could guide on this issue as it is blocking us.
You should indeed be able to toggle the little disclosure triangle to see the form to edit things like label which I believe is what you're after.
Then it'll show up in controls as such.
If you don't see that, you might have a permissions issue. Your role might not have the "Can Edit Dataset" permission, or something along those lines.
Closing this as 2.x versions are not supported anymore. Feel free to continue the conversation in case @rusackas's suggestion does not resolve your problem. I hope it does 🤞🏼
Hi @rusackas Thank you for your response. I am not seeing the disclosure triangle as you correctly mentioned and I think it is a permission issue too. I have the following permissions enabled for this admin user which is all the options i see for Dataset in https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/RESOURCES/STANDARD_ROLES.md
Permissions currently assigned: can read on Dataset can write on Dataset menu access on Datasets can export on Dataset can duplicate on Dataset can get or create dataset on Dataset
Yes, running 2.1.0. Strangely I remember this option was available when we first on boarded to 2.1.0 as we had to create some new datasets which takes time column in epoch.
@rusackas Any suggestions here ? It would be very helpful If I could get some guidance on the permission that affects this particular functionality.
Not really sure... I'm curious if this is still an issue in 3.0/3.1, but if it IS a permissions issue, it probably will be.
