I need help. Why is my “_airbyte_data” field now “{}” when it used to have data before upgrading to 0.50.4?

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you can refer to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com) and [Airbyte community support](https://discuss.airbyte.io) for more information and assistance.

I found the reason. In the previous versions, all the data could be stored without specifying the specific fields in the schema. However, in the current version, you must define the specific fields in the schema in order to store them.
