Hello, When trying to create a new row in Excel from a source (Excel or another database) I only have the option to add the ID field. I do not see an option where I can map additional fields for the new row in SQL. How do I add all the fields I need from the source into my SQL table?

I think, I figured it out. I did not have a primary key set on the SQL table, I was treating it as a FK. Once I added that, the additional fields appeared so they could be mapped.

Thanks for the response. Thats what I do not understand. I can only map ID field. I do not know how to map other fields, I do not have the option.

I can see all of the fields in Excel but I can only map the ID field for SQL. I do not see how to map the other fields. Clicking on the Plus just adds (concatenates) the additional excel field to the ID field in SQL
