Welkom op de community, @Jan1,

This field offers only selectable options, based on what the resource provides. You can select only an existing spreadsheet, because the subsequent input fields are partially based on the properties of the selected spreadsheet ID.

If this is Google Sheets or Excel, you can use the ‘Add a Row’ module to add a row to a file. There is more info here: Google Sheets modules - Apps Documentation

Cheers,
Henk

Hello @Jan1,

Could you please tell me a little bit more about your scenario? As Hank mentioned, this field allows you to only select existing spreadsheets. But you can change it to “Enter manually” and pass the spreadsheet ID.

Also- you asked:

To get variable name you can use function - of course that’s only example - you must adjust it to your needs:

Hi @Jan1 ,

Here you are trying to add a new row to the file, and the row name should be set dynamically using the variable name.

However, the screenshot you shared appears to show only the Spreadsheet ID. To review this further and understand the setup correctly, could you please share the complete module configuration screenshot?

This will help us troubleshoot the issue more effectively and identify what might be missing or misconfigured.
