Hi everybody,
Is there any known method of updating a column type for an app that has had sync errors?
The (irresponsible) user of the app has made 65 new entries and updates to existing rows after the sync was not successful.
I have tried:
Obviously, without being able to Sync, it canโt get the new column type and thus canโt clear the Enum error (even after converted to text)
At this stage, it is looking like the data will need to be re-entered or updated, which will require me going through the Sync list on the iPad and hoping that I can get most of this completed.
I know that this is probably a futile exercise, however I thought I would see if anybody had any tips or solutions.
EDIT: I do have the โChange logโ ready in the format that AppSheet displays (I assume itโs like a semi-JSON output?)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Put the App in recovery more (Manage โ Deploy). But be aware there is a risk you could loose some data. Weโve had this before loose signatures and pictures. So might be worth getting them to do screen shots of anything really important.
Simply put it in recovery mode, save, get them to sync, then turn recovery mode off and see what you have

@1minManager , Iโm curious to hear more about your experiences with using the โrecovery modeโ. When exactly do you turn it on, what results do you get from turning it on? Iโve experimented with it a few times, but it just never seemed to do anything.
So we had an issue yesterday like the above. User hadnโt synced since we added a few new columns. The data came in but strangely the 3 signature images where missing. We know the user created them as each of them is timestamped and GPSstamped. So recovery mode is not perfect but its better than having to click โreset changesโ and delete all the sync updates
Interesting, thanks.
Hey @1minManager
I canโt believe that I overlooked this so easily. I actually went down the path of exporting and converting to JSON and then had a brain snap moment of โjust enable recovery mode!โ
I thought I removed this thread, but Iโve just checked back and seen that there are responses.
It was a lot easier than the original path I started on.
