Why is my renamed sheet not being recognized in the automation sheet lookup?
I am trying to create an automation to move rows from a user entry sheet to a locked down sheet — I renamed the sheets with numbers to put them in order & to see the visual process flow. When I create the automation for the rows to move, the new sheet name is not being recognized & only the old name appears. When I test the automation, I can see that rows have moved, but when I look at the sheet that they shouldve moved to they are not there.
I can see in the Activity Log that rows have been moved, but I cannot find them anywhere in the workspace. Has anyone dealt with this before, and how did you resolve?

hi @mbunn,
Give it some time I had same situation once I renamed the sheets and I was not able to find it in the move/copy row workflow. The server needed like 1h to refresh the data and it showed up so probably you will have the same results.
Keep us posted.

@kowal Thank you for the quick response!
I actually changed the name of this sheet early last week and I still am not seeing the update or where my data went

hi @mbunn, and the sheets are called as you named them like 1, 2, 3 etc. ?

@kowal Yes, it is listed like pictured below.
I recently added the entry tab and changed the labels to include the numbers at the beginning so that they go in order, but it is still recognizing it only as the old "Positions Need to Hire" instead of "2. Positions Need to Hire". The automation still works to move rows from "1. Positions Need to Hire Entry" after 1 day, it is just not appearing in destination sheet because that does not exist anymore.
Very confusing i dont know where it is going

hi @mbunn ,
it's really odd - I would open the ticket with support for that as I am out of ideas.
