I understand your frustration! The good news is that "Write to Other Table" hasn't been completely removed - existing columns still work.
What specific issues are you running into with the new Send table data feature? I'd be happy to help troubleshoot or explain how to get the same functionality you had before.
It auto maps to the table incorrectly and creates a big mess!
I get that the auto-mapping is frustrating! Here's how to fix the messy mapping:
When Send table data creates that source column in your destination table, you have full control over the mapping:
Click into the source cell in your destination table
Hover over each field you want to map
Click "Add to column"
Either create a new column with the right name OR map it to an existing column that makes sense [1]
This way you can manually map each field exactly where it should go instead of letting it auto-map incorrectly. The auto-mapping is just the starting point - you're meant to customize it from there. [2]
What specific fields are getting mapped to the wrong places? I can help you think through the best mapping strategy.
Turn off auto mapping in send table data column
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to turn off the auto-mapping feature in Send table data. The feature creates a source column in the destination table by default. [1]
However, you have full control over how the data gets mapped after it's sent. You can manually map each field exactly where you want it by clicking into the source cell, hovering over the field, clicking "Add to column," and then either creating a new column or mapping to an existing one. [2]
Are you looking for a way to prevent the initial source column from being created, or would customizing the mapping after the fact work for your workflow?
If you still need help with the Send table data feature or have any other questions, I’m here to assist. Would you like to share more about what you’re trying to achieve or any specific challenges you’re facing?
Perfect! The "Auto-map existing columns" toggle (the third one that's currently off) is exactly what you're looking for. That setting controls the auto-mapping behavior in Send table data. [1]
Keeping it off means the feature won't automatically map your data to existing columns, which should help prevent the messy mapping issues you were experiencing.
Is that what you were looking for?
Yes, that's exactly right! The "Auto-map existing columns" toggle (which you have turned off) controls whether Send table data automatically maps your data to existing columns in the destination table. [1]
With it off, you'll have full control over the mapping process and can manually choose where each field goes instead of dealing with messy auto-mapping. [2]
Did that answer your question?
Please explain? The toggle was turned off, but it automapped?
The "Auto-map existing columns" toggle only controls whether Send table data maps to existing columns in your destination table. Even with it off, Send table data will still create that source column in the destination table - that's how the feature works by design. [1]
What you're seeing isn't really "auto-mapping" - it's the normal behavior where Send table data creates a source column, and then you manually map the fields from that source column to where you want them. [2]
The toggle prevents automatic mapping to columns that already exist, but it doesn't stop the initial source column creation.
