DBT & Metabase about metabase

@Dillbearer I'm guessing that you mean by changing the "Field type", you mean changing the value for "Field type" on the Table Metadata > Table > Field settings page:

Could you show us how to repro this?

My tables in Metabase (v 0.49.12) automatically take wrong "Field type". I change it, but after updating the tables in DBT, the "Field type" automatically changes back to the wrong one.

What's the wrong field type? and when you say you change it, what exactly does it mean?

@Dillbearer can you tell us a bit more about the column, so we can figure out what's happening? Your answers to these questions will help us narrow it down:

1. What type you were changing it to?
2. What type did it reverted back to?
3. Does the column have many NULL values?
4. And what the Postgres type of the column is?
5. What semantic category of values are stored in the column? (example answer: the values are all URLs)
