Make Google Docs: Missing value of required parameter 'oldText' in Replace a Text

Описание и применение

В Make при использовании модуля Replace a Text в Google Docs ввод {{Name}} превращается в пустой токен, вызывая ошибку BundleValidationError. Решения: экранировать скобки при выполнении или использовать Create a Document from a Template с тегами.

Задача

When using Make’s Google Docs Replace a Text module, typing a placeholder like {{Name}} in the Old text field causes Make to convert it into an empty mapping chip, resulting in a BundleValidationError: Missing value of required parameter 'oldText'.

Результат

By escaping braces at runtime or switching to Create a Document from a Template, the user avoids the BundleValidationError and successfully replaces placeholders in Google Docs via Make.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Identify the placeholder (e.g., {{Name}}) in the Google Doc.
• 2. In Make’s Replace a Text module, enter the placeholder in Old text; if it becomes an empty chip, proceed to step 3.
• 3. Build the literal {{Name}} at runtime using a replace function: replace(replace("[[Name]]"; "[["; "{{"); "]]"; "}}") or insert a splitter like {{emptystring}} to prevent tokenization.
• 4. Map New text to the form field answer.
• 5. Run the scenario on a copy of the document to avoid data loss.
• 6. Alternatively, use Create a Document from a Template: place {{full_name}} in the template, enter full_name (without braces) in Tags, and map the form answer.
• 7. Test the scenario to confirm the placeholder is replaced correctly.

Доказательства

Typing {{Name}} in the module field makes Make turn the braces into an empty mapping chip, so the required parameter is missing and you get BundleValidationError: Missing value of required parameter 'oldText'.

Источник

Build the literal {{tag}} at run time: {{replace(replace("[[Name]]"; "[["; "{{"); "]]"; "}}")}}

Источник

If you are filling a Doc from a form, Make's Create a Document from a Template module uses Tags / replaced values instead of Replace a Text.
