DataTable doesn't update sheet row after unique identifier changes

Hello, I have a sheet with a connection to a DataTable. The unique identifier is email addresses, sometimes I have to update the email in the sheet as it's changed. After I change it, the row's cells are not updated with data from the DataTable. I've confirmed that the DT does have the updated email and it's data points but it's still not sharing the info to the sheet.

Is there a reason why this could be happening?

    Hi@Ryan P Anderson

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you've updated both the DataTable and the matching value in the sheet, but the corresponding columns/data aren't being synced in your sheet moving forward.

    有电子邮件可能是拼写吗slightly differently in both places? Does the connection sync when you manually refresh it?

    If the sheet is still not updating even though Data Table has the correct information, I would recommend reaching out toSmartsheet Supportwith the sheet URL and a video recording.

    Cheers,

    Genevieve

    Have you checked the datatable to make sure the record with the previous email address is gone?

Hi @Matthew Drake<\/a> <\/p>

There currently isn't a way to overlay an Outlook Calendar on top of a Smartsheet Calendar; you can do the reverse, publish dates from Smartsheet into Outlook.<\/a><\/p>

Please provide your feedback to the Product team through this form, here.<\/a><\/p>

Thanks,<\/p>

Hi @Emmy Anderson<\/a> <\/p>

You are not missing anything. This is how DV works with dropdowns unfortunately. My work around in the past is to create an other option in the drop down, user chooses save. Then have logic built for a text field that appears so the user can input the values not present in dropdown. <\/p>

Hope this helps<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":343,"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations","allowedDiscussionTypes":["discussion","question"]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":319,"urlcode":"functionality","name":"functionality"}]},{"discussionID":66594,"type":"question","name":"Is there a way to use OR in a Dynamic View filter condition?","excerpt":"In a View, I can create a custom filter that selects where the Project Lead is \"Mike\" but I want to also say \"OR Debbie.\" Is that possible?
