Greetings!
I am not able to edit my data table. I've done this countless times. I just did it yesterday in a different attribute table in the same project. I've added two attribute fields so I can add two separate, additional numerical identifiers to property parcels. So I added the attributes, but now when I go in to add/ edit the text in the table it just disappears as soon as I move on to the next entry and returns to a "0" entry. I restarted my software and my machine. I'm in an edit session with the appropriate layer selected.
Any ideas??
Thank you so much!!

When I first saw the title of this, I assumed the issue was going to be one of two things:
What's weird, though, is that if either of those were true, then the fields should be greyed out in the attributes pane and wouldn't allow you to alter any cells on the attribute table.
What your post seems to describe is that you're able to make an edit, but the edit immediately reverts as soon as you move to another field. If that's the case, there are (again) only two reasons I can think of:

Yes, you are correct. I actually figured it out myself before I saw your response. When I created the field, I designated it as Short because I intended to only use numbers, but then I changed my mind and decided to include an alpha prefix in the same field, and that's what messed it up. Thanks for chiming in! And I love your signature quote. It's better to be happy than right.
