Excel Tools

Hi

Using Merge Excel documents (v2.2.18 of plugin on Appian 22.1) has been working very successfully. Now shows an error -

Merge Excel Documents A part with the name '/docProps/core.xml' already exists : Packages shall not contain equivalent part names and package implementers shall neither create nor recognize packages with equivalent part names. [M1.12].

Any ideas as to cause and how to overcome this error?

Regards

A quick search shows this to be a known bug in the docfetcher module and is fixed in 1.1.15 (DocFetcher / Bugs / #987 A part with the name '/docProps/core.xml' already exists (sourceforge.net)).

Will upgrade to latest version of plugin cure this issue?

Regards
