Excel Online (Business) Update a Row - Node erases any value entered into an optional field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ChadC 31

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to use the Update a Row function for Excel Online (Business). I'm able to populate the values for all required (*) fields. When I try to enter either a dynamic content node or a text value, the function node appears to refresh. All values entered into a field without an asterisk is wiped out. I've tried deleting the node and readding it, but this continues to occur.

This is affecting the following fields:

  • tenant_domain
  • cts_name
  • users_string
  • source
  • num_low_alerts
  • num_med_alerts
  • num_high_alerts

Again, I cannot enter any value into these fields. The node is "refeshing" and erasing those fields.

 

Please advise.

    The issue appears to be related to the name "source." Once I changed the header in the Excel document to "source_string" then values wouldn't be erased.
