It would be nice to have the option to style a specific word or phrase within a text-field, ie. making it bold or change the color, underline etc. so that you would not have to repeat this every time you import new changes. Could perhaps be HTML/CSS or markdown based?

Works great and is exactly what I needed but when I add an image URL and try to load it into a shape it doesn't work (if I try to write it to a textbox the URL does appear as text though).

Great plugin. Do you have a timeframe on when the Nested Symbols feature would be released?
Thanks.

I published my sheet to the web as shown in the tutorial, but every time I try to import content, it asks for the link to my published sheet and then nothing happens.

Love the plugin. Makes my life so much easier when working with large data sets. That being said, some of the datasets I work with have ~100,000 rows. Have you thought about adding the ability to randomly select a row?

Usecase:
I'm designing an dashboard of some sort. I've imported a bunch of data into a google sheet. Now I want to test that real data through my design. The data has lots of different currencies, and positive and negative changes. What I'm trying to discover is obvious layout issues. What would help would be to randomly select rows from my dataset.

Instead of looking through the dataset to find a row that might work or break the layout, and instead of adding .1 or changing it to .2 (because you wouldnt do this 10,000 times on 17 layers), it would help if the plugin randomly selected a row, so I could keep generating instances quickly and understand what's going wrong.

How I've set things up so that I can test multiple rows quickly:

Thoughts?

Hi there, I think it could be very useful to have the images loaded from a local folder, instead from the web, could it be possible? maybe with a folder in the same location as the .sketch file?

Feature request:
When can you release a version where one can use a single symbol with multiple text variables.

I used this nice plugin, realised that it is applying it globally to every instance of the symbol can there be an option to apply this only to selected symbols

Thanks

Is there a way to enter layer names in the first column and the content horizontally or referencing value by their name instead of the 'nth' value? It would make it easier to manage string dictionaries. :)

First off, thanks for this awesome plugin.

I work for a company which uses GSuite for all of our internal email and documents, and it's not possible to publish to a public URL visible outside of the company, so no sheet created using our enterprise accounts can be used with this plugin.

We would really benefit from being able to keep shared sheets with different types of dummy data to use across the design team for mockups, but our enterprise security settings make that impossible right now.

Hey!
Awesome plugin. I used to use JSON populator a lot but not everybody in our organization likes to edit JSON files and the convention how the variables/placeholders work isn’t as elegant as your solution. Unfortunately, we aren’t allowed to share any information via any Google service. Therefore my question is if you plan a version which works locally with data which can be exported from Excel (😖 I know!).
Thank you!

I uninstalled/reinstalled and still get the same result. i use this plugin A LOLT!

I get "Invalid Google Sheet URL" whenever I use the following URL:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQ-BJxzdXMJ83c77wWUAsemNOO-Vsh2_Jd6EzSMd-JSOqhY2yB8HcJ0mpa9SrB0uiGerFh4PgwVycVr/pubhtml

Virtually all design files can be organized very efficiently using one page and multiple artboards.

It is perfectly normal to have clickable prototype with 30 artboards and a single page. At the same time it is impossible to have the same prototype with 30 pages x 1 artboard setup.

So ability to bind one google doc sheet per artboard would benefit plugin usability greatly.

Hi, I'm very interested in using this plugin to improve my workflow with copywriters.
I tried to install and run your plugin but seems it doesn't work. I can't run the plugin. Using the sketch debbuger (runScript command) I saw that there is a "Syntax error" in the first foreach.

I have the last version of Sketch.
Can you let me know if you have the same problem?
Thank you

I use airtable almost daily. I just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

Hi,

I've upgraded to a M1 Macbook Air. The plugin gets installed on sketch 72; however when I'm trying to link a google sheet via "link google sheet", the dialogue box (Where sheet URL is to be entered) is not opening.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, but without any luck. My workflow is stuck as I don't have the old laptop with me anymore where things ran smoothly :(

I would love to show/hide symbols based on data in the google doc.

Use case: to show project progress, based on google doc data.
I have a google doc with projects listed by row. Each row has a status column with integer data. I would like to be able to show/hide a specific symbol based on the value of this cell. If the cell contains a 1, show a symbol (e.g. a green check mark), if 0, show a different symbol (e.g. a red cross mark).

In the google sheet, a column only has a value in row 3. how can I populate only #value.3 (right now this is viewing it as #value.1 (grabbing any first value in column))... if I have #value.1 or #value.2 I would like to return an empty text box.

Thanks.

Hello!
Thank you very much for create this amazing plugin!
I'm using it with a single sheet and it works perfectly, but if a use another sheet (for another artwork) I get an N/A: https://cl.ly/ljV6
And if I use the same #layertitle (for example) in both pages I get the same content of the first sheet.

I'm using v1.1.1 btw

Thanks again!

Hi,

Thanks for you plugin. But we can not run it because it alway require import google sheet url. Please check it. My Sketch app's version is 44.1.

Thanks

Thanks for the wonderful plugin!

Everything works great, however, I'm having a hard time getting images to populate.

I have inserted image into cell in google sheets
I have a shape layer -- 'hanginthere #image'

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm probably late to the party here, but would it be possible to auto-generate the spreadsheet from an existing Sketch doc? That way, you'd only have to type everything out once (name layers, create spreadsheet (which includes named layers), edit, repeat).

It doesn't look possible how. What would we be looking at to build it?

Hey there,

Always get 'failed to process the document data correctly' when I try to link this google spreadsheet using this link

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DiAjACnklAfiha6flD_c5aiuSlsSbg79TvjgU7x5dbU/edit#gid=0

Works great otherwise, but when starting the column title with a number as in "1-body" it wouldn't import for me.

Hi @DWilliames Really solid plugin, here. Thank you so much for your work and generosity.

I'm wanting to pull column heading from the sheet, too. It seems like this would be relatively simple, but I don't see a mention of it in your documentation. Is it possible today?

I'm using the latest Sketch version (53.2)

1. copy the google sheet link
2. paste it in Sketch
3. got this error

I would love to be able to set colour values (e.g. colour fill) for a symbol, based on google doc data.

Here are a few options to consider;

• set the hex code in the google sheet,
• set the style name in the google doc

I've been using the plugin and wanted to use names like "#onboarding_title" as my string's name. But currently, only "#onboarding title" or "#onboardingTitle" or "#onboarding-title" works. It would be great if underscore works in this case.

Thanks!

Webp images are loading correctly on design mode, but displaying as the placeholder "fetching image" instead in the presentation mode.

Hi! thanks for making this awesome plugin!

It would be amazing if it was possible to show/hide a layer based on a true/false value in the spreadsheet :)

Thanks!

Some services are not supported. Tryed with these url:
https://i.ibb.co/SdcRQ0c/aritos.jpg
http://clientes.shelvaldes.com/3S-Retail-IMG/aritos.jpg

Rather than specifying a specific item number e.g. #item.1 allow the ability for it to be randomised, e.g. #item.x where it would choose a random item from the list.

This plugin doesn't work. Import is never working.

My public sheet is:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTfVYwW-wb3CRaP9Z2ageQMRo-u6CPXxBex7xWTRhQ-o2lBrMjyC_JdFECgyh7SRu9by_-yHecJ82M7/pubhtml

Another issue explains the url cannot contain "/d/e" but this is how Google generates the url. I tried different settings, but "/d/e" is always in the url.

How to use this plugins with a symbol design?

Can't fetch any of the images I put in my Google Sheets file. I thought it might've been because it was a Google Drive link without the .jpg extension so I got the direct link for the image with the .jpg extension instead and still it didn't pull up my image and just got stuck on fetching image. I waited for about 5-10 minutes and still nothing happened. It would make it easier for me if the image didn't need a .jpg .png or .gif extension because I'll be pulling all my files from a Google Drive but if this can't happen I'd still just like for me to fetch images normally without having to wait for an extended period of time.

Feature Request:
Would it be possible to add the ability to update the sketch file with image URLs pasted into the Google Spreadsheet?

For example, I have a grid of people like this:

Ideally, I'd like to add an avatar image for each of them in the Google Spreadsheet, like this:

Would this be possible to add to this Sketch plugin?
