Hi, I just updated my n8n-nodes-seatable from 1.5.2 (pretty old I must admit !) to 1.6.3 and I can’t activate any of my workflows, because the seatable action nodes type changed from `n8n-nodes-seatable.seatable` to `n8n-nodes-seatable.seaTable` (the type of the trigger nodes remains n8n-nodes-seatable.seaTableTrigger so they don’t cause any problem)… The correction is pretty straight-forward : copying all the workflow in a text editor, replacing `n8n-nodes-seatable.seatable` by `n8n-nodes-seatable.seaTable` and pasting the result back in n8n, but it will take me some time and I’m a bit surprised: I didn’t find anything about that on the forum, did I miss the info ? Am I the only one having this problem ? And the vexing question for the SeaTable team: are we talking about backwards compatibility ? Don’t get me wrong, I still love you all and I’m still a big fan of SeaTable ❤ ---

Thanks for your hint. I am surprised and sorry at the same time. The change you mentioned happened with version 1.5.1 ([version 1.5.1 including big data · seatable/n8n-node@65fc840 · GitHub](https://github.com/seatable/n8n-node/commit/65fc840c371f39583af27d625fa2794aebf6b785)) and should be no problem. The n8n developers asked me to do this change to fullfill their naming policies. Still I thought this should be no problem and automatically updated automatically as soon as you update the community node. Regarding your complaints: we do our best to develop and improve SeaTable and the complete eco-system without friction for any user. Sometimes this works not as expected and we are sorry about that. ---

Hi Christoph, Thanks for your answer. It’s weird that I had this problem whereas I was already on 1.5.2 before updating (it was my first update, I got 1.5.2 when I activated n8n for the first time), but the name was still the old one (from before 1.5.1) 🤔 About my “comment” (it wasn’t really a complaint 😀), as I said, I know you do your best, and as I said, you do it pretty well in my humble opinion! However, it is sometimes complicated to keep everything working after updates (you’ve seen I also encountered problems with the python API after this update), that’s why [I opened this thread](https://forum2.seatable.io/t/how-to-keep-seatable-in-production-when-api-version-changes/4935) to see how it could be possible to think together of a solution to avoid side effects. As you answered me, this is a particular and pretty rare situation as it is a major version update. Anyway, for this particular problem, it was disturbing, but no big deal to fix. Bests, Benjamin ---

ouch … I’ve got about 20 Workflows that I have to fix, thanks @bha for the hint about replacing the name in the exported json. Here’s how I did it on a mac, 1. copy the workflow 2. run this in a terminal ```bash pbpaste |sed -e s/n8n-nodes-seatable.seatable/n8n-nodes-seatable.seaTable/g|pbcopy ``` then remove the workflow and paste what you’ve got in the clipboard. ---
