What is an โAutomatic consistency checkโ and how can I avoid making changes the editor wonโt allow me to save?
If it helps, the app name is Traq-314105
When you save your changes in the Editor, we run a set of consistency checks to ensure your updates are valid.
You control how much consistency checking we do when you pick either โSaveโ or โSave & verify dataโ.
The later does more checking and takes longer. For example, the later reads and verifies your workflow templates and we check for duplicate key values.
We offer you the two options because the more extensive checks are time consuming and can slow down your editing.
Because of the cost of checking, the Editor does not detect and prevent all of the possible errors you can introduce while your are actually editing. We do our best to detect and prevent obvious errors, but some errors are only detectable when you request either โSaveโ or โSave & verify dataโ.
People are sometimes confused when they choose โSave & verify dataโ and see more errors than they expect. That is because of the difference in the level of checking between โSaveโ and โSave & verify dataโ.
You should do โSave & verify dataโ periodically. This is especially important when you have workflow rules.
@Philip_Garrett_Appsh Thanks for helping me work through this.
The only error the error gives me is that my changes cannot be saved because the version I am trying to save already exists.
Here is my process 1. Save an update (v384) 2. Make more changes 3. Save another update (v385?) 4. Get an error that v385 already exists and tells me my changes didnโt save 5. The Version History shows that v385 was an โAutomatic consistency checkโ which is different than โUser Editโ (There are no other editors working in this app and I donโt have any other browsers open. This looks like some kind of Appsheet-related app change.)
It sounds like what you are saying is that sometimes (are there specifics?) when I click โSaveโ or โSave & Verifyโ it is making background changes that take some time before the editor recognizes them? This is something I donโt remember encountering before.

Hi Praveen,
Does this sound familiar? Sarah mentioned that you may be aware of an issue in which the server does a consistency check and AppTemplate save that results in a duplicate version number.
Happened againโฆ
Multiple tables are removed from the โColumnsโ tab, but they are showing fine under โTablesโ Seems like reverting is gonna fix this, I just need to find an old version thatโs reasonably stableโฆ
