Features & enhancements

Item Description
Enhancement Enhance SNAPSHOT() to support User Settings

A SNAPSHOT() expression is typically used when sending an email with an attachment in a bot. The SNAPSHOT() expression is added to the attachment template to include an AppSheet chart, graph, or map in the attachment. The resulting attachment is usually converted to PDF and attached to the email.

A customer reported that the SNAPSHOT() expression is not working correctly in an app. In the app, the SNAPSHOT() expression was used to include a chart in a bot attachment. The view was not being rendered properly when it relied on User Settings.

This changes ensures that the SNAPSHOT() expression now works with User Settings.
