BUDI-8915 Budibase does not return all columns if some fields are empty

I’m experiencing what sounds like the same behaviour, but with a different cause, because none of the missing columns’ values are empty. Maybe the component isn’t using the query’s transformer as expected.

Reproduce:

1. Create a new app
2. Add a REST API data source, with a query for GET https://cdn.githubraw.com/Juriy/swapi/refs/heads/master/resources/fixtures/films.json
3. In the query, add a transformer return data.map(film => film.fields)
4. Save the query
5. In the Design view, add a Blank screen
6. On the new screen, add a Table component, and set the Data to the query saved in step 4

Expected:

• Table component has the columns that are enabled in the table configuration sidebar

Observed:

• The sidebar lists the expected columns, but the table component only includes the pk column values

Hey @gravyplaya could you just go over the steps to reproduce?

From what you've discussed in the overall report I've tried to recreate but been unable to. Please provide more detailed steps to reproduce, and if possible, an app-export of the issue happening.
