Cross-doc messes up column names and drops entire columns

Cross-doc a table into another doc and Coda will force an unwelcome and unpredictable change in the column names on you:

  1. A column in the original table called “code_name”, is referred to as “CODE NAME” when you hover over the Row column in the cross-doc table, but is accessed in formulas as “Row.CodeName” !
  2. Worse, Coda completely loses it with column names that combine Latin and non-Latin characters. I have three columns in the original table called:
  • SS上架时间
  • SS预览时间
  • SS平台ID
    out of the first two, only one got crossed over and has to be accessed via “Row.SS”. As for the third column, it’s changed to “Row.SSID”
  1. It’s clearly a bug as column names that use only non-Latin characters get cross-doc’ed normally.

Dear Codans, can we just have the original column names carry over without any change for use in “Row.” formulas? cross-doc is already fiddly enough as it is :slight_smile:

PS: Bonus points if cross-doc sync detects when column names have changed in the source table and automatically changes any “Row.” formulas in the target table. One can dream!

2025 and I’m encountering this, per one of my recent posts
