How do I change the name of the navigation table folder?

[LukasThiago]

Hi, I'm developing a custom connector and I have a function with 2 parameters, the access token and the list of the tables.

But in the navigation table, the name of the "folder" is the access token, and I need to change, but I don't know how. Someone can help me?

HI @LukasThiago,

Can you please share some more detail about these connector definitions? How you check the variable and function with named/defined with 'token'?

Sure, this is basically the main part of my code

[DataSource.Kind="BaseB", Publish="BaseB.Publish"]
shared BaseBNavTable = Value.ReplaceType(NavTable, BaseBType);

BaseBType = type function (
    token as (type text meta [
        DataSource.Path = false,
        Documentation.FieldCaption = "Token",
        Documentation.SampleValues = {"zu1UBNRAn1a..."}
    ]),
    tables as (type list meta [
        Documentation.FieldCaption = "Tables",
        Documentation.AllowedValues = RootEntities
    ])
) as text meta [
    Documentation.Name = "Base-B"
];

NavTable = (token as text, tables as list) as table =>
    let
        entitiesAsTable = Table.FromList(tables, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),
        rename = Table.RenameColumns(entitiesAsTable, {{"Column1", "Name"}}),
        withData = Table.AddColumn(rename, "Data", each BaseB.Feed(Uri.Combine(BaseUrl, [Name]), token), Uri.Type),
        navTable = Table.ToNavigationTable(withData, {"Name"}, "Name", "Data")
    in
        navTable;

BaseB.Feed = (url as text, token as text) =>
    let
        header = [
            Authorization = "Bearer " & token
        ],
        result = getData(url, header, 20000, 0)
    in
        result;

HI @LukasThiago,

I think you should modify the 'Documentation.FieldCaption' and 'Documentation.SampleValues' parts which used to define the 'token' option of your data connector.

[DataSource.Kind="BaseB", Publish="BaseB.Publish"]
shared BaseBNavTable = Value.ReplaceType(NavTable, BaseBType);

BaseBType = type function (
    token as (type text meta [
        DataSource.Path = false,
        Documentation.FieldCaption = "FolderPath",
        Documentation.SampleValues = {"x:\..."}
    ]),
    tables as (type list meta [
        Documentation.FieldCaption = "Tables",
        Documentation.AllowedValues = RootEntities
    ])
) as text meta [
    Documentation.Name = "Base-B"
];

NavTable = (token as text, tables as list) as table =>
    let
        entitiesAsTable = Table.FromList(tables, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),
        rename = Table.RenameColumns(entitiesAsTable, {{"Column1", "Name"}}),
        withData = Table.AddColumn(rename, "Data", each BaseB.Feed(Uri.Combine(BaseUrl, [Name]), token), Uri.Type),
        navTable = Table.ToNavigationTable(withData, {"Name"}, "Name", "Data")
    in
        navTable;

BaseB.Feed = (url as text, token as text) =>
    let
        header = [
            Authorization = "Bearer " & token
        ],
        result = getData(url, header, 20000, 0)
    in
        result;

Hi,
This method doesn't worked, the folder name doesn't change, untill is the same. I think there is no way to change the folder name.

Hi @LukasThiago,

This part should be the definition property of the token and same as the snapshots displayed.  Have you fully clear up the old version cache data and release the new version connectors?
