Features & enhancements

Item Description
Enhancement Test button moved for Expression assistant

The Test button now appears below the input field for the Expression assistant rather than appearing to the right of the field.

Bug fixes

Item Description
Bug Fix blocking cache issue with delta sync and XLSX files in Google Drive

Fixed a bug that was affecting users under the following conditions:

  • An app is using an XLSX file uploaded to Google Drive (rather than a native Google Sheet)
  • The app has multiple AppSheet tables based off different sheets of the XLSX file
  • Delta sync is enabled for the app

The bug manifests itself when a user syncs the app twice in a row in the same browser session. The first sync works, but the second sync will result in one of a few errors, such as:

  • Unable to retrieve app definition
  • Data table '[name]' is not available
  • Data table '[name]' is either inaccessible or empty

The fix for this issue will be rolled out gradually to all users.
Bug Previously filtering on an Enum value applied to a Table View would remove the column from the table. The column is no longer removed.

Item Description
Feature Send dynamic emails from a bot.

Configure a bot to send a dynamic email to one or more recipients based on an event. Dynamic email leverages dynamic email in Gmail (using AMP) and enables users to interact directly with your app in the email rather than clicking out to view the AppSheet app in a separate window.

For more information, see Sending dynamic email from a bot and the community announcement.

Feature Table view

Table View now supports freezing the first column while scrolling horizontally. For details, see Freezing the first Column of a Table View - in Preview Program.

Enhancement Update deck view row heights depending on content available

Currently, deck view rows have a fixed height regardless of how much content you have. With this update, AppSheet adjusts the row size to fit the form factor based on what columns you’re displaying. For more information, see the community announcement.
