I'm trying to upload a .csv collection into the DB. Every time i try to upload i get the following error. I am using Chrome but have also tried in IE

[Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.String;

thanks,

It's a known issue.. we already fixed it. Just need to push it to production.

Thanks, can you guestimate when it will be resolved?

We are trying for early next week.

I just deleted my development data to change my data type so now I have no data to work with until this is resolved. Is there a work around other than manually adding data on the back end? I was simply uploading data with headers of column1, column2, ... and changed to column1:string,column2:number, ... Also, in general on system updates, do you do those on a particular day of the week every week or something like that? I am also waiting for the PhoneGap 2.4 update for youtube video play.

Hi,
You can use REST API for inserting values to collection. On io.tiggzi.com, "Collections" tab, you can see hints "GET", "FIND", "CREATE", "UPDATE", "DELETE".
As for updates, I don't have the timeframe yet. Follow updates in our blog.

Thanks Katya- my planned method for updating my app data is to use the csv import every few days to replace existing data with new. If I had been live right now, my app would be broken until an unknown time in the future. What I am wondering is, was this an isolated incident that is not likely to happen again such that I should not be worried about future breakage?

I am concerned because I have to delete the collection before I can attempt to import a new one, as far as I can tell. I just looked at the option of updating my collection with the idea of importing a new one with a different name, then renaming the old and new, but I did not see an obvious way to rename collections. What might be a workaround to prevent me from being dataless in the future? Can the ability to rename collections be added?

The fix should be out on Tuesday.
