Sharepoint Online Rest connector - "selected file may no longer exist"

I notice I get the subject line error message for Sharepoint Online Rest Connector when someone updates the sharepoint file for a couple of datasets, even though it has the exact same path, name, sheetname, etc. And then I have to go into the Domo dataset settings and re-select the file.

Could this have anything to do with the fact that the user deletes the old file and uploads a new file, rather than pasting into the existing file? Even though I have the dataset configured to look at file name rather than file id, is it possible it is still depending on the file id? This never used to happen with the deprecated sharepoint online connector.

  • Yes, its probably related to the user deleting the file. Files normally will have a unique identifier in the background that let's the application know the difference, even if the names are the same.
