Expanding JSON columns not working correctly

Hi there,

I have data in a column which I apply the transformation to JSON for in the Query Editor, consisting of 10+ columns,  so far so good.

Thereafter I expand the heading (AuditNew) to show the columns without pressing 'Load more' columns I hit OK, doing this will only load the 10 first columns in to Query Editor, not all of the 10+ columns that the data consists of.

Whereas if I press 'Load more' to display ALL columns and then hit 'OK' - it loads all of the columns in to Query Editor. So it seems if I dont press 'Load more' it does a TOP 10 columns and removes all other columns from being loaded. That doesnt seem right to me?? Shouldn't it load all columns if 'Select All Columns' is ticked??? 😞  

 

Sorry, cannot provide sample data in this case, it's more of an observation of what I think is a bug in Query Editor rather than anything else.

I think this Edit Query/Transform data mode. This will show you limited values. But You can filter and find more values. What is that you want to achieve by searching

Yes, I can see all of the columns and know how to get around it, what I am saying is this appears to be a bug in query editor since it only loads the TOP 10 columns into the model unless you hit 'Load more' when expending JSON obejct. 

Transform column in to JSON > Expand columns from transformed JSON, it then says 'List may be incomplete' and you can 'Load more' > if you DO NOT 'Load more' you only get the TOP 10 columns expanded and therefore loaded in to the model when you hit 'Close & Apply'

That is wrong since it at the top 'Select All columns' is ticked - it SHOULD expand ALL columns in to the model without you having to click 'Load more'

Makes sense?
