Posted by developer: Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.16 release, and here's the changelog entry: The SQL editor and the Alter Table operation both reported errors on indexes with valid functional key parts and on expressions that were used as default values. Thank you for the bug report.

I confirm the SQL editor and alter table problem are solved. And I see the default column expressions in the table editor. However, trying to modify the expression always results in error, because the generated SQL (see below) is wrong since the expression is not engulfed int parentheses. The generates SQL is: ALTER TABLE `test`.`def_expr` CHANGE COLUMN `geo_def` `geo_def` POINT NULL DEFAULT point(42,23) ; While in fact it should be: ALTER TABLE `test`.`def_expr` CHANGE COLUMN `geo_def` `geo_def` POINT NULL DEFAULT (point(42,23)); Please, reopen the bug and fix.

Happens with 8.0.18 When you try to add Default of 'uuid_to_bin(uuid())' you receive a syntax error. Does work if you do it from the query , but won't show up (in default) when you edit table but does show 'blob' in the column. create table MyTable ( uid binary(16) primary key default(uuid_to_bin(uuid())), tableName text not null );
Description: Apparently, MySQL Workbench doesn't well support the new feature for expressions as default values. I found two problems: 1. SQL Editor displays an error on expression for a BINARY column (see first screenshot). The server accepts the SQL without any error or warning; 2. Trying to alter table by clicking Alter table... in Navigator results in Error Parsing DDL for ... (see second screenshot). How to repeat: 1. Paste the following in an SQL Editor tab in MySQL Workbench 8.0.13: CREATE TABLE def_expr ( id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, uuid_def BINARY(16) DEFAULT (uuid_to_bin(uuid())), geo_def POINT DEFAULT (Point(0,0)), json_def JSON DEFAULT (JSON_ARRAY()), json_def2 JSON DEFAULT ('[]') /* this works too */, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE INDEX `id_UNIQUE` (`id` ASC) VISIBLE ); 2. Notice the error given by editor's parser (see first screenshot). 3. Try to alter the created table from Navigator. Suggested fix: SQL Editor shouldn't display error as the syntax of the SQL statement is correct. It should be possible to alter a table with expressions as default values.
