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

说明与用途

在 Make 中，Replace a Text 模块的 Old text 字段输入 {{Name}} 会被转换为空映射芯片，导致 BundleValidationError。解决方案是运行时转义大括号或使用带标签的 Create a Document from a Template。

问题

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'.

结果

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.

工作流

• 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.

证据

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'.

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

来源

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.
