External URL for image files not working

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

I followed the guide here

https://support.google.com/appsheet/answer/10107317?hl=en#external-url-imageshttps://support.google.com/appsheet/answer/10107317

to generate external URL for image files. I disabled the Require Image and File URL Signing. It used to work, but no longer. No modifications were made whatsoever. It suddenly did not work. I’m sure it is a bug somewhere. Can anyone rectify this?

I tried both below but did not work at all. Still getting error 404.

CONCATENATE(
  "https://www.appsheet.com/template/gettablefileurl",
  "?appName=", ENCODEURL(CONTEXT("*AppName*")),
  "&tableName=", ENCODEURL(CONTEXT("*Table*")),
  "&fileName=", ENCODEURL([*image-or-file-column*])
)

CONCATENATE(
  "https://www.appsheet.com/template/gettablefileurl",
  "?appName=", ENCODEURL(CONTEXT("*AppName*")),
  "&tableName=", ENCODEURL(CONTEXT("*Table*")),
  "&fileName=", ENCODEURL([*image-or-file-column*])
)

Can anyone advise?

If the URL generation was working, you made NO changes and suddenly it stopped working, then you need to report this directly to AppSheet support. There may have been a release that caused breaking changes. Please contact support.
