Last night there was a system update and now my app that’s been working without change for 2 years is broken:
![]()
What do I do?

What is the error?

There seems to be multiple errors that are coming up… but I’m not sure what was changed by the system update?
Looks like it’s complaining about your column names.
It says it can’t find certain columns - if you look at the end of each of the errors, the last sentence of each tells you the column it’s having problems with.
Additionally, it might be wise to remove the special characters you’ve got inside your column names - this is a no-no in certain circumstances.

everything Steve said. Also, if your goal is to eventually run your app against a SQL database as opposed to excel or Google sheets, I recommend not using characters like #, ', &, % etc. And even attempt to avoid spaces in your column names. This is not a hard requirement but rather a suggestion. Personally, I am a fan of CamelCase field names like AccountFirstName or BuyerLastKnownAddress. You can then use Appsheet’s “display name” override in the column grid editor.
