Google sheet not updating glide data. Oh Sheet!

Report a Bug
1

I have a google sheet filled with some data. The problem is when a new row is added to the database within the glide application it populates the table within glide (synced gsheet) however, when I look at my Gsheet the data has not been populated. Infact is hasn’t updated since I initially linked to the app.

NB: I have tried to manually sync the sheet but to no avail.

Has anyone discovered a similar issue? Any ideas on how to resolve?

Have you tried a manual resync?

Thanks for the reply Jeff. Several times. Which is why I’m alittle surprised.

No news. I will contact Glide support and update chat once I resolve.

Full disclosure. I did not do this as I didn’t want to rebuild the page due to the computed columns within glide. However, the only self managed solution was the following:

  1. Navigate to Settings: Data.
  2. Click the ellipsis (three dots . . . within menu ) under data sources.
  3. Click replace. This will reconnect the gsheet to the application.
  4. Sign out of both glide and google, then sign back in.
  5. Navigate back to the builder and re-sync.

Hope that helps those awaiting answers, but my guess in something more sinister within glide.

All previous steps did not resolve the underlying data sync with Gsheets.

Glide is not writing new data to Gsheets.

I would encourage either a weekly backup via csv or import csv to gsheet.

The “replace Gsheet” method works for some time and then the problem occurs again. I decided to spend days to convert a gsheet to a table (as we don’t have an ETA for that automatic feature).
