HELP: No Global App State - What's your work around?

I’m struggling without a global state/ property. What are others doing as a workaround?

I have a 4 view stepper UX for a business process and I either have:

  • good navigation UX with too many things packed into 1 reusable element (non-modular build)

or

  • bad navigation UX with a clean modular build

can you clarify your question

lets say user is on view A- looking at thing’s data.

user opens view B in a modal to edit the thing’s data.

user hide’s view B’s modal by navigating to previous mobile view.

Now all the info on View A is stale. It does not reflect the recent changes.

did you a test using a real mobile phone (with testflight app)?

yes. bubble go, TestFlight, and live in the app store.

when you navigate to previous mobile view - that view is stale. There’s no way to trigger a refresh of data based on this event.

any ideas?

Hmm that sounds like a bug, View A should have updated data if it was modified

wait really? that would be amazing!!!

@nick.carroll this would solve the other thread about passing properties on go to prev mobile view.

How’s it supposed to behave? Is there a limitation? For example: maybe nested thing’s thing doens;'t work? or maybe multi-views / layers of stacks deep.

I’ll file a bug report. i’m hoping this is good news .

So I’ve been testing this. I think it’s a user error on my end. This is great news!!

sorry about wasting yourtime guys.

Hi @nick.carroll I think it is a bug in some cases. Here’s one.

View 1: Thing’s data
View 2: Modal with things data
View 3: Stack (inside modal bc of step 2) to modify thing and go to prev mobile view.

Back at View 2: I have workflow that looks at thing’s data (a field “hide view 2” = yes/no) and if “yes” go to previous mobile view.

This workflow will not run even though thing’s data was modified.

Here’s the actual WF in view 2

It works in webview preview but not bubblego on iOS.
