Does anyone have a smart solution for the following issue in WeWeb?

I have a Supabase table set up in WeWeb, which works fine. However, when I make structural changes to the table, such as deleting a column, WeWeb is no longer able to fetch the table.

Is there a way to handle this problem effectively?

I don’t think there is a way. It’s like this also with classic code. In code the pattern to avoid this is usually to not use supabase directly to access tables, but to rather make endpoints with a defined structure and change those on the backend only, this way you have an additional layer. I get this very often when I do [consulting](https://broberto.sk/consult), a proper planning helps avoid this in my experience.
