Issues with Cross-Doc: Errors, Performance, and Sync Limits

1

Hi, I have been facing many issues with cross-docs, and would appreciate some help.

I have one doc called Master DBs, where I want to store all the source tables with limited access to people in my organization. I want to create 3 other docs that will contain different filtered, synced views of the source table. However there are many bugs that have risen after doing this.

  1. A public view of one of the source tables that is currently in the Master DB doc, keeps showing the error “Failed to get cross doc table metadata”
  2. Forms that are supposed to update the source doc take longer to load/crash.
  3. Tables take a long time to sync, especially as they get larger.

Additionally, looks like the cross-doc table limit is 10,000. This is going to be a problem as our DBs get larger. At this point, we are already at 2100 on one of our DBs.

Any guidance for this?

Thanks!

Hey @Kavya_Doraswamy could you email support@coda.io with a link to your doc? Sounds like there might be some bugs here so we’d love to take a closer look. Thank you!

I am having the same issue, right now.

If it helps in bug fixing, I did a little testing and…

  1. This message stopped popping up once I gave the person (who is a Coda user) Edit access to the document.

  2. The message shows only for Published link (not the share doc link) and the users are logged in to Coda.

  3. Again, if the user is not logged in to Coda then the message is not popping up.
