I have 1 “parent” docs and 3 “child” docs. My 3 child docs have cross-docs table, referring to a table in a parent docs. The source table has “People” column in it. Previously (until yesterday), it synced to tables referring to it perfectly.
But today, “People” column in my child docs are not sync-ed well. I can’t access users’ attribute. It only sync user’s name and email hyperlink. I can’t access “User.Email” anymore. I use “User.Email” to match the email with logged-in user “User().Email”. I can match “User” with “User().Name”, but the problem is, full name is not unique.
It shows an error like this:
I believe it’s a bug, or maybe it’s an update related to user’s privacy concern? Please help, thank you
All — better contact Support about that via the support channel (the ? button in the bottom right of Coda)
Re users/mailto links — People column syncs as mailto links for some reason, and mailto links (copied email addresses) tend to resolve to People on receiving side sometimes. I already reported this bug to support.
Encountered this problem today as well, just for the record. Actually I encountered it two weeks ago, then it seemed to magically fix itself, and now my cross-doc-ed people are back to mailto links again. Will contact support.
Yeah the problem did come and go, so I gave up recently. I added “User.Email” and “User.Name” column at the source table and I changed all referencing formulas to refer to the new columns
gonna report this once again, while working on the workaround
