Error when creating database lookup

smorse11
Engager

Each time I try to create a new or save and existing database lookup I get the following error:

{"msg": "Encountered the following error while trying to update: \n In handler 'dbx-dblookups': The following required arguments are missing: advanced.", "status": "ERROR"}

Any ideas?

Can you tell us all of the lookup's properties? You may be creating arguments but not putting them in your SQL query
