Incident

Spreadsheet data added using workflows may be incorrect

Issue summary:

Starting September 6th, 2022, we identified an issue with the Google Sheet app inside Workflow Builder. This issue caused the app to read the spreadsheet date/time format wrong, inserting the incorrect time value in the timestamp.

We discovered this was due to the app processing the workflow step with a single digit value instead of a double digit value.

Users can continue highlighting the Submission Time column in the spreadsheet and select Format → Number → Custom Number Format and insert: ddd mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss, as a workaround.

We will work to fix this through a bug ticket that has been filed as a result of this incident. Though we have not resolved this issue yet, we will provide further updates through customer support tickets with the impacted users.

We have found a workaround for users facing the issue where using the workflow tool to add a row to a spreadsheet is inserting incorrect time information.

As a workaround, highlight the Submission Time column and go to
Format → Number → Custom Number Format and insert: ddd mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss.

Going forward, we’ll continue working on this as a bug that we’ll track internally. If you’re still experiencing this behaviour, please reach out to us at feedback@slack.com.
