Source data for Record Group

Question

Hello,
I am very new to Oracle Forms and have been tasked with pointing some forms we have to a new server and adding a couple of columns to come areas. Everything was going ok until I got to a the point where I have to add a new column to an area on a form. The forms are pointing to the new tables and the searches are working, or at least seem to be working. How can I tell the data source for a data group? I checked properties for the record group (RECORD_STATISTICS) that populates a certain area on a form and it has query selected as the record group type but there is no query showing. I added the column needed to the column specifications list but it does not show up when I run the form. There is a spot for it because the extra hyphen is there.
Here is the code that populates the fields on the form. The field I added is the ahs_site column. As mentioned earlier I added that field to the RECORD_STATISTICS data group as well as to all the procedures I can find but am missing something..
DECLARE
htree ITEM;
num_selected NUMBER;
current_node FTREE.NODE;
v_note_value number;
v_node_depth number;
     total_rows number;
group_id          RecordGroup;
v_selection_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
-- Find the tree itself.
htree := Find_Item('BLOCK_STATISTICS_TREE.TREE_ITEM_STAT');
v_selection_count := Ftree.GET_TREE_PROPERTY(htree, Ftree.SELECTION_COUNT);
IF v_selection_count>0 THEN
          v_note_value := Ftree.Get_Tree_Node_Property(htree, :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_NODE, Ftree.NODE_VALUE);
          IF v_note_value IS NOT NULL THEN
               group_id := Find_Group('RECORD_STATISTICS');
               total_rows := Get_Group_Row_Count(group_id);
          v_node_depth := to_number(Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.NODE_DEPTH', v_note_value));
          -- :BLOCK_BUDGET_PARAMETER.DI_SELECTED2 := v_node_depth;
               GO_BLOCK('BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL');
               CLEAR_BLOCK;
               FOR i in v_note_value..total_rows LOOP
                    IF v_node_depth=4 THEN
                         :BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL.DI_TEMPLATE_SEQ := Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.NODE_SEQ', v_note_value);
                         :BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL.DI_DESCRIPTION := Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.SITE', v_note_value)
                         || ' - '|| Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.AHS_SITE',v_note_value)
                                                                                                                        || ' - '|| Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.PRIMARY_CD', v_note_value)
                                                                                                                        || ' - '|| Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.SECONDARY_CD', v_note_value)
                                                                                                                        || ' - '|| Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.SECONDARY_CD_DESC', v_note_value);
                         :BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL.DI_YR_AND_MNTH := Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.YR_AND_MNTH', v_note_value);
                         :BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL.TI_QUANTITY_STAT := Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.QUANTITY', v_note_value);
                    ELSE
                         IF Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.LEAF_NODE', i)='Y'
                              AND v_node_depth < to_number(Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.NODE_DEPTH', i)) THEN
                              :BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL.DI_TEMPLATE_SEQ := Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.NODE_SEQ', i);
                              :BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL.DI_DESCRIPTION := Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.SITE', i)
                              || ' - '|| Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.AHS_SITE',i)
                                                                                                                             || ' - '|| Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.PRIMARY_CD', i)
                                                                                                                             || ' - '|| Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.SECONDARY_CD', i)
                                                                                                                        || ' - '|| Get_Group_Char_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.SECONDARY_CD_DESC', i);
                              :BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL.DI_YR_AND_MNTH := Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.YR_AND_MNTH', i);
                              :BLOCK_STATISTICS_DETAIL.TI_QUANTITY_STAT := Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.QUANTITY', i);
                              Next_record;
                         ELSIF v_note_value<>i AND v_node_depth = to_number(Get_Group_Number_Cell('RECORD_STATISTICS.NODE_DEPTH', i)) THEN
                              EXIT;
                         END IF;
                    END IF;
               END LOOP;
               First_record;
     END IF;
     END IF;
END;
Hope that made sense. I do not understand how data flows through forms just yet or how to phrase my question in terms that understandable. I do have some screen shots I could send anyone willing to help.
Thank you.

Adding a column to column specification does nothing.
First of all, check the record group query in record group properties:
1) In forms builder object tree find that record group, right-click > property palette.
2) Look for property (just cann't remember exactly its name) where select query is specified.
3) Add the column you need to the query. Column specification will refresh automatically.
There is one more way to specify query for record group. Look for calls of POPULATE_GROUP_WITH_QUERY procedure in the form code.
Forms 6i: menu program > find and replace pl/sql, Forms 10: edit > find and replace pl/sql. In the search field type POPULATE_GROUP_WITH_QUERY. Then see the results where your record group RECORD_STATISTIC is being populated programmatically. If no calls were found - the only data source is in record groups properties.
