Issue
- The issue occurs while updating/adding a new column to the existing database custom table i.e. using Service Builder to add another entity in an existing module.
Environment

- Liferay DXP 7.4
Resolution
-
To add new columns to existing tables using the 'service.xml' file, kindly follow the following steps that will help you to move forward:
- Take a backup, and delete the existing "src/main/java" section of the Service and API module.
- Add the new column name with the existing column names in the "service.xml" file.
- Refresh Gradle.
- Build the service.
- Deploy the modules again.
- After following the above steps, all the required column names will be displayed in the table.
Note:
- Try the above activity in a lower environment first.
- Keep the backup of your existing module first before performing the above actions.
