Dear devs,

I have the following problem: Paraview 5.6.0 does not show Field Data in the “SpreadSheet view”, stored within a vtm file. They are vtkFloatArray’s with proper names. What are possible reasons for this and how can it be fixed.

Thanks a ton,  
Art

Can you share your data or part of it ?

Hi Mathieu,

thank you for a prompt reply.

We’ve created a minimal example, source code and data attached.

Thank you,

AnnotateGlobalData also fails for this dataset. I didn’t look into why.

FieldData should be defined on the leaf level, not in the intermediate block.
