Nothing Auto-Populating/Table Editor Empty

I got a new computer and everything for multiple years was transferred over and working fine, EXCEPT 2023 no longer auto populates anything when entering names or Tax Id #s for employers, 1009Rs etc.  When I go to the Table Editor, it is empty.  There is nothing in any categories.  In contrast, the Employer name field in 2022 has over 1000 items as does everything else.  How could everything else have transferred over and not this?  Where is this stuff even stored?  I am going to lose it if I have to start from scratch w building that database.

I think you'll need to call support on this to see if it can be restored/imported somehow. It's annoying, but prioritize doing this now before working on more returns in case anything gets overwritten. I hope they can bring it back for you.  Agree, I'd lose my mind too.

If you have to repopulate it, figure out a system.  I'd buy and hook up an additional monitor, have PY Lacerte on another screen and get really efficient at copy-paste.  Hire an admin to work ahead of you and populate items in the returns you'll be going to next (my admin might want more hours, TBD, so lmk if you need/want help).  Just a few ideas that I really hope you don't need.
