This was not the case. I actually checked all the value in the table. The table is somewhat small, only about 20 rows, so it was easy to spot this. Plus, up until yesterday, the value in the field could not be more than 10 characters, since this was the length of the field. When I changed the length of the field from 10 to 15, the problem started.
Thank you.
