I am uploading pdf files in my appsheet app. The files are being uploaded to a specific folder, depending on the type of the file. Each file has a specific name, based on formula. This used to work flawlessly but recently something must have changed and now i can not set my app to name uploaded files according to my wishes.
any ideas?
Knowing nothing of how your process works, I have no idea why it stopped working. Perhaps post some screenshots of relevant configuration?
I have an app for tracing incoming invoices. I am adding pdf of the invoice manually and the files are then uploaded to a folder which i share with my accountant. I would like the files to be named in a meaningful way, i created an initial value formula for that:
concatenate([Zaporedna številka]," “,text(right((“000”&month([Datum izdaje računa])),2)),” “,[Partner],” “,text([Datum izdaje računa],“DD MMM YYYY”),” ",[Unique ID])
I also have a virtual column as a key and a formula “=Ima slike Key” (the upper column).
Until recently all my uploaded file were named according to that formula in the key column+name of the file column+time stamp, now the files are named in the format like
UniqueID-column2-column3-some random number-name of the file column.timestamp.
Any ideas what might have happened? I haven’t changed anything in the app.
Thank you for a reply.
I have an app to upload invoices to a folder shared with my accountant. I add files(pdf) manually.
i have a column with an initial formula to concatenate the meaningful name. I also have a virtual column with a formula which equals the above column. This virtual column is marked as a key.
Until recently all the uploaded files were named accordingly to the formula with some random number, file column name and time stamp.
Now the files are named [UniqueID)[three other columns)_[random number)[name of the file column)[time stamp)
I can remember when setting this up for the first time i also had problems but i somehow solved it with marking some column as a label, but not sure about that.
Any ideas?
It’s possible something changed on the AppSheet side, but yours in the only complaint I’ve seen.
Did the table’s key column change?
What does the PDF creation task’s configuration look like?
the PDFs are only being uploaded not created in appsheet.
The key column hasn’t change
