Electronic report: updating from excel will remove existing mapping

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 99

Hello everyone,
I am new to electronic reporting and tried to follow some youtube videos that ease through it, currently my problem is that when I try updating from excel an existing standard electronic report with its mapping, I check the "Create Excel sheet format element" and upload the modified excel file by clicking the update template, then suddenly I get this:

The left side is the result of this update while the right side is what it used to look like (I also did create configuration derived from the original template and checked Run draft)

    Hi Fares,

    Do you have created this format designer as derived version of a standard ER config?

    Do you want to just change mapping or do you want to create new fields also?

    Hi Alireza,

    yes I downloaded the original excel file and added an existin field to another column with a different name (derived from the standard ER config), I want to map the new field but I lost all mapping and field names that were orignially there as you can see from the picture (the left side is the result while the right side from the screenshot is the original state that was lost)
