Bug? Numeric Column not resolved in rich text email template (automation / button)

User Talk Automations

Hi, my colleague just spent 2 hours finding this out: Out of a number of columns, only one holding a numeric Euro € value did not appear in a “rich text” e-mail body. All others worked fine.

After long testing, she found our that she had the column formatted as follows:

  • Numeric Value
  • Euro currency
  • Comma as decimal separator
  • dot as thousands separator

According to the tests, the last thing broke the mechanism. Can somebody test and verify?

Hello,

Thank you for your message, we are looking into the issue.

I still have some questions:
Which SeaTable version are you using?
How was the column referenced in the rich text?
Which automation did you test with?

Ah, sorry, I thought that was obvious:

  • Latest version, on premise
  • Referenced using the dropdown menu item
  • Just a plain “watch record changes and send e-mail” automation

@fsa Ping!

Any news on that? Until this weekend, we were still miles behind the current version (4.4.9 instead of 5.2.7), so I didn’t follow up on this one for a long time.

Being now up to date with 5.2.7, I realized the bug is still there. Placeholders for currency-formatted number (most of all, the German “.” separator for Thousands, see above) columns, for example, are not replaced in Rich Text e-mail sent by automations.

Regards!
