Remote Dataset - Overwrite Existing Data

jonwcrew · March 7, 2018, 12:46pm

Hello,

How can I have a remote dataset Overwrite existing data each time it syncs?

Currently I get a new row in the dataset with each change of data.

Thank you !

Refresh and truncate can be set on dataSet Edit → Advanced tab

I believe that ‘Always’ should do what you want ie to truncate ‘old’ record and only show the new one after each sync.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the reply.

Yes I have Truncate set to Always … but I still get a new row with every data change.

Have tried creating multiple datasets with different sources and settings and still get the same behaviour.

v1.8.7 - Docker.

It seems that there is an issue with truncating the dataSet data in the task that does fetch the data from remote source - I’ve created the github issue for it with the fix as well.
