Rename table

February 01, 2019 16:37

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has ever encountered the following issue:
Create a dashboard where the fields are linked to tableName.FieldName and then publish that Dashboard to an instance where the table name has changed. So newTableName.FieldName. Is there a script or any API functionality that will loop through all of the widgets and change the fields from oldTableName.FieldName to newTableName.FieldName?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

I've hit this issue when making changes to the DB, any change to a table or fieldname isn't reflected in the dashboard. I have a quick and dirty solution to export the dashboard(s) and use search and replace to change the names and then re-import.

I'm also working on a tool that will use the RestAPI to allow table and field name changes to be made using a UI. Can you PM me if you're interested - IanTebbutt at gmail.com.

Cheers

Ian
