Features & enhancements

Item Description
Enhancement Improve performance when creating Microsoft Excel file from a template


This change significantly reduces the time required when creating a Microsoft Excel file from an Excel template. See Using Microsoft Excel templates.

Enhancement Update Appsheet Zapier integration code on Zapier website

Update the Appsheet Zapier integration code on the Zapier website to resolve a security issue with a third-party software library. The latest version of the Appsheet Zapier integration is 2.0.4. Use this latest version rather than an earlier version.

Bug fixes

Item Description
Bug Make Preview As Email consistent with the email input


Fixes an edge case where USERROLE() does not work as expected. Before, if you update a User’s role and did not refresh the editor and if you input the email of a user that does not exist, AppSheet would default to the login's editor auth value for USERROLE() in the app within the editor. With this fix, Preview As Email will always reflect the right USERROLE() in the preview app.
