Coda 4.0 compatibility issues causing formulas to break

The buttons in the Security and Encryption for Coda template are not functioning correctly and appear greyed out (pic below). As a result, you cannot perform certain functions in the template.

Security and Encryption for Coda templates copied before October 2023 will be impacted.

After the release of Coda 4.0 in October 2023, some formulas are no longer working in the Security and Encryption for Coda templates. The change has primarily impacted the Activate() function in the older templates.

• Method 1: Migrate your existing vault to a new template

• Method 2: Replace the Activate() function with the new formula

Method 1: Migrate your existing vault to a new template

This is the simplest method to implement and involves minimal changes.

As we do not store your vault keys in our database, you will need to move it from the old document to the new one. Here’s how to do this:

1. First, download the new Vault Template from the Coda gallery.

2. In your old document, go to Vault table > Columns and unhide Key.

3. Copy the key.

4. In the new vault template, sync your account.

5. Once the vault from your account is synced, go to Columns and unhide Key.

Method 2: Replace the Activate() function with the new formula

1. Copy the formula below:

RunActions(
SetControlValue(CreateInfoBox, ""),
SetControlValue(ActionInfoBox, ""),
SetControlValue(BinInfoBox, ""),
SetControlValue(TransferInfoBox, ""),

2. Select a button to replace the Activate()function. In the example below, we will be changing the formula for the Create Vault button in the Vault template. Right-click on the Create Vault button. Then, go to Button Settings and click the On Click field.

3. Replace the old formula with the formula you copied in step 1 and press enter.
   

   

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 with the following buttons in these templates:
