Description

Hello,

I have developped a custom function in an Excel taskpane project using Visual Studio 2022.
I used a shared runtime.

The function run well.
I can find the name of my function in the "select function" scroll list of the fx dialogbox. It is named as NAMESPACE+NAMEFUNCTION.
I can find the name of my add-in in the "select category" scroll list.

BUT I can't find my function using the "search function".
SO the certification of my add-in failed ?!

my js file is :

Office.onReady(() => {
});
/**
 * Retourne la version du logiciel
 * @customfunction
 * @returns {string} Version actuelle du logiciel.
 */
function Taratata() {
    return Variable;
}
// Associe l'ID de la fonction du fichier json au nom de la fonction js
CustomFunctions.associate("TARATATA", Taratata);

my json file is :

{
  "functions": [
    {
      "id": "TARATATA",
      "name": "TARATATA",
      "description": "Retourne la version du logiciel",
      "category": "Tutoriel",
      "helpUrl": "https://www.domain.fr/Functions/help.html",
      "result": {
        "dimensionality": "scalar",
        "type": "string"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Any ideas to resolve this issue ?

Thank you
