I have an input with initial content of $200. I’ve been seeing this problem more and more, when navigating to a different page and then using the browser back arrow to return to this page it comes up with garbage data in the input. Obviously the page is not being reloaded when the back arrow is pressed. How to prevent?
Page load:
When back arrow is used to return to page:
How are you navigating pages? Are you actually going to a different page or just changing view on same page?
The navigation menu and Next button use “go to page” actions. So yes, I go to a different page using the navigation and then use the browser back arrow to return and data changes to random.
But the go to page action is it an actually different page in app, where name of page is actually different and not just a change of url parameter?
Go To navigation goes to an entirely different page in the app with a different name.
It’s a browser thing. If the previous page (different page) is still in memory, it will not reload the page when you use the back button.
You mean the browser plants random data in my inputs that have initial content?
Great. Now how to fix it?
That one is most likely a bug from how Bubble renders initial content. In general, you shouldn’t be trying to find workarounds to how users using the back button to go back to a different page unless it’s for security.
Generally any UX where you expect your user to go back and forth between states, should all function within one page, not between pages.
Pretty sure there was a post about a similar bug. You should file a bug report instead.
good idea. Submitted.
