Hi.
I have an app with a database.
https://www.appsheet.com/start/0d9b20e7-a481-429a-bc9b-95e8fc7a329c
(If you have no access, please let me know. Than I need to figure out, whats wrong with my security settings)
I changed the name of a table. From “TABLE_Forname” to “TABLE_Forenames”
But the name does not update itself in the app.
I tried to “regenerate”. Without success.
How can I solve that please?
Thanks for your help : )
I think you need to add the table againg, after you have changed the name.
As you see in my screenshot the “qualifier” shows the correct name. That’s why I wonder you have to manually remove a table and add it again. I expected, that renaming a table should not break an app.
I don’t think it will work. I always had to delete the old one and add it again, same as @KON_TROLL said above
OK, lesson learned. Thanks for your advice.
When I “regenerate” a table which contains columns with the type email i always get the following error message:
“Table ‘TABLE_Reporters’ may contain sensitive data in column(s): reEmail”
When I uncheck the “PII?” the message disappears. But each time I regenerate the “PII?” is checked again automatically. That’s so annoying. How can I get rid of that please?
In my first message in this thread I asked, if you have access to my app?
Have you? It is important for me to know, if sharing an app in this community works.
no access. share the link with …/Template/… from user management
Never had this issue but if it’s not too late or too much to fiddle with, try renaming with some “abc” and see if it happends again. If it doesn’t, might be some appsheet GDPA auto detection. If it is, must be new. I don’t think I have an app without an [Email] column and never seen this.
I like to understand how to share an app here in the community.
I set the following option. What’s missing, that others have access?
I can reproduce the problem.
Steps:
1 Go to databases
2 Rename a table (in the screenshot you see my renaming from TABLE_Reporters to TABLE_ReportersTest
Result:
The qualifier does not update.
I don’t use AppSheet Database and recommend you don’t, too. That said, when using Google Sheets, if I rename the workbook (the spreadsheet file itself), the app will not update the name within the app. To update the name in the app, I have to go to each table that uses a worksheet of that workbook and manually reconfigure its Source Path, select the workbook by its new name (Browse for more data the first time to make the app aware of it), and reselect the Worksheet Name/Qualifier. It’s super tedious but seems to be the only way.
