Sketch Athens, data files don't work

Hi Does anyone have a fix or work around for this yet?

  • mac
  • Using text files to update fields within symbols now don’t work.

Hello James, welcome to the forum!

I don’t recall any issue related to data in Athens. Could we have a document and a text file to take a look at? The file doesn’t need to be the entire doc, just contain some sample components to fill with data.

If you prefer, you can attach them to an email to productsupport@sketch.com if you don’t want to share the document publicly.

We’ve received the email from @jamesdellar, and I could reproduce the issue. We’re working to solve it in a future update.

Fortunately, there’s a workaround, as this issue only occurs if you select the particular text override. If you select the whole Symbol, these Data buttons will work as expected:

I hope this helps!

Thanks @JorgeF, there are quite a few data fields that I need to update and this works well on a cell by cell basis as a work around but not a bulk edit at this time.

Thank you so much for sharing this with the community and pretty chuffed that I found a bug for you guys :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
