Onedrive create folder module. How to create a folder name with spaces?

Hi,

My scenario is working well, except that I cannot figure out how to get it to create a folder name with spaces in it!

My folder needs to be named Firstname Lastname StudentNumber (with the spaces included). But that produces a naming error.

And including %20 to denote the space, it creates the folder literally, as: Firstname%20Lastname%20StudentNumber

Many thanks in advance for the solution to this small but annoying problem!

Hi there,

Would you be able to share the screenshot of the error you get?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

That’s weird, we should be able to create folder names with spaces.

I’ve just tested it:

try using the {{space}}
where you want to keep spaces between your folder names

Hi again - and thank you for the suggestions.

I should have said that my folder name is from mapped fields. I suspect this might be the problem. If I put a text or character before or between the fields (such as a period), it works perfectly well. But weirdly, If I have no other characters and no spaces between each field I get: ‘BundleValidationError Validation failed for 1 parameter(s)’.

I’ve just tried the {{space}} suggestion from @ThakurHemansh (thank you), but it converts it into a field (see image) and I get the error: ‘Missing value of required parameter ‘name’. RuntimeError [400] A valid name must be provided’.

I’m at a bit of a loss here. :frowning:

As @samliew mentioned Contact support for the fix.

Hi Again, I just want to update this as I have a solution - sort of.

Support was helping me to try different settings to reslove this. I was playing with it myself earlier and discovered that the Airtable Search Records module does not collect any data from any records if the ‘maximum number of records to retrieve’ is greater than 1. So I have changed that – and the whole scenario now works correctly, - with the spaces in the folder name as expected.

Can anyone explain why this might be?
