Hi,

I added a db column to a table in Postgres manually cause the (geolocation geography(point)) was not available to be added from content builder. The field is not available in schema.json file.
On new deployment, the column get deleted by strapi. Any reason why ?
Strapi 4.0 would delete column from the DB if it’s not part of schema.json. Is there any way to prevent this from happening ?
