Insert property in Excel Header

Lucas

Hello,

One of our client is using Excel headers for their template and they want to add some M-Files properties in there but I cannot find a way to do that since the headers behave differently from a normal cell.

If I try to insert using the M-Files add-in I get an error "Excel is busy". And copying the formula from a cell isn't working either. All I could find on the subject is a 9 years old forums post with the conclusion by the support that it's a known bug. Is there any way workaround or solution?

Thanks

    It looks like this isn't possible using our current approach.  According to our internal tracker Excel doesn't support custom properties in headers/footers (or: I guess, it did not when this tracker item was last updated).  I have added your company details to the tracker item and linked to this discussion for additional context, but this is likely not something that can be achieved easily.
