I have a table field "dealership name".. that I want to have automatically be populated with a specific name. I thought I could do it through "as defined" in the actual table but that doesn't seem to be working. As I'm search through the help fields.. it seems the only way to do it is with "update"?
As you are using PHP Cron Job will be useful to you

I cannot get an entire table to populate with ImportXML. At best I get the first column and I cannot figure this out.
The website I am trying to scrape is: https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills
Do I have any options to retrieve the table rather it be column by column or as a whole?
I have tried all the following plus several others.
=IMPORTXML("https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills","//table[#id='boss-table-1010']/tbody/tr")
=IMPORTXML("https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills","//tbody/tr")
=IMPORTXML("https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills","//tbody/tr/td")
=IMPORTXML("https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills","//tr")
=IMPORTXML("https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills","//tr/td")
=IMPORTXML("https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills","//tr/td[1]")
=IMPORTXML("https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills","//tr/td[2]")
Anything outside of column one says Imported content is empty. Please help!
P.S. I have scoured this website and google for answers and every case I find seems to be a syntax error, starting at the table itself doesn't return the entire table which tells me I need a clever method.
It seems that's an issue with the website, because when you click on Inspect you can see the table with id "boss-table-1010" but if you click on View Source that ID is not available, so the table is dynamically rendered and Sheets doesn't find such id.
I've checked it and I can get the data by doing
=IMPORTXML("https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/kromcrush/chills", "//table/tbody//td")
But if you want a more robust solution, it'll be better doing it programmatically by using Python for web scraping
How do you use a zap to remove data from an existing field? For example, the fields "Name" and "Email" have data, but I need a zap that will just set those values as blank/null/empty.
The zap I'm using is for a Checklist in Process Street. There are several fields (i.e., email, name, etc.) that are already populated with data in the Checklist, and I want to remove those data. Of course if you just leave the fields blank in the zap, Zapier ignores them in the update. I've tried looking up environment variables but can't find anything, and blind guessing with inserting a space, "", {{NULL}}, " ", doesn't work. Thank you for your assistance!
The empty string will work in many cases, but if it's acting up, you could try adding a Formatter step and replacing the existing contents of the field (using the field you want to clear from an earlier step as the "find" part of find/replace) with the empty string (the replace part of find/replace). You can see this document for how the Formatter by Zapier app can be used:
https://zapier.com/apps/formatter/help#reformatting-text
This is a bit quirky, so if that doesn't work, you might try reaching out to customer service. They'll definitely have more specific advice for your Zap.

For a blog model I'm saving an RSS field as text under Blog.rss, problem is, some of this is rather long and each one prints when I'm working in the rails console, ie: Blog.last(10).
Is there a way to hide output unless I call someblog.rss specifically?
I had a similar problem and received some solutions in another forum, which were:
Use select to get just the columns you need
If you have a very long column (I had JSON data structure from a webhook cluttering the console), consider whether you really need it, and if you don't , don't store it in the table
Or, consider storing it in an associated table
if you need the whole object but just want to change how it's represented in console/log output, you can redefine inspect
yourobject.as_json(except: :unwanted_column)

I had a project in Redmine with more than 600 issues. I moved all the issues to a different project. I had no idea that the move deletes all the data for the custom fields!
So all the custom field values are now lost. I did not backup the database before this action as I really did not think that I was going to do any harm by moving issues as moving is a native function in the UI.
What I noticed is though that the production.log contains events for all creation and updates. All my 600 issues are in order in the production log. How can I use these log statements to repeat the actions? If I can import all the log actions, I can migrate the custom fields that it writes to the original Redmine instance and restore my values.
Entries look like this:

I am really hoping that there is a way, any help will be greatly appreciated
You could use a decent text editor and/or spreadsheet application and do a massive find and replace and construct a series of UPDATE SQL commands and run them directly on the database (TEST FIRST!!)
Extract from log
Remove unnessary information
Copy into spreadsheet
Split text into columns
Add in columns with necessary SQL commands "UPDATE SET etc" copy into all rows of this column etc.
Join columns to make one text command per row
Export joined data to a text file
Run against test database as sql
If all goes well run against production database as sql
The log entry, following "Parameters:", looks like a regular Ruby hash definition. I'd parse that out and eval it back into a hash variable.
From there you will need to peel off elements and insert them into a database. I'd do that using Sequel, but use what works for you.
Talk to the RedMine support people and get the schema for their tables so you can figure out what data goes where and the database driver needed.
I'm sure this is an easy fix but I can't seem to find it. I just have a form, that will be a subform of another, that needs to display the results of a query.
The query is simple enough, just displays all fields of records that fall between specified dates. The query works great, but when I attach it to the form as its record source it doesn't display the data. I can see the correct amount of record selectors so I know its understanding the query but its as if all fields are hidden!
I have also tried building a query to the forms record source that was simply Select query.* From query. Oddly I have had this working before but I had to specify every field. What I mean is:
Select title From query
Select type From query
Select date From query
...
And so on for all the fields but this seems foolish, can anyone think of what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Edit, forgot to mention I also tried the foolish solution that I mentioned above and it didn't work so its definitely some issue that I'm not seeing, some property that's probably not appropriately set
#sshekhar well its not really code at the moment I'm using Access 2010. I have a form that needs to display a subform that executes this query of displaying records that have a data field that fall between dates specified by the user. The query works and displays the correct records, but the form that it is attached to only shows the record selectors and all the fields appear to be "hidden." I thought it may be one of the form's properties set incorrectly but I checked on the test form from another database that I used and each have what appears to be identical settings. So I'm at a loss!
So it turns out even though I using a query that holds all the fields it will not display the content unless you go to the Add Existing Fields and add all the the fields you want to see. This seems really silly especially when the results in the query but at least its working now.
I had this problem and discovered that having the property DataEntry set to YES will only display new records. From Microsoft Help:
You can use the DataEntry property to specify whether a bound form
opens to allow data entry only. The Data Entry property doesn't
determine whether records can be added; it only determines whether
existing records are displayed. Read/write Boolean.
