The main content of my app is information in shortlists. Periodically they will completely disappear. All other content in my app (text, icons, etc) is visible, but everything in the shortlist is not visible. This problem seems to appear and disappear randomly.
Luckily I haven’t launched yet. But this problem renders my app completely useless, so this would be a major problem for me if it were live (which I’m hoping it will be next week - assuming this problem stops).
Anyone else experiencing this? Anything I can do to make it consistently reliable? Any known things I should check for that I might have configured badly?
Very limiting, but the crashes on android were so bad we’ve had no choice but to just get creative with full lists and then open a sheet etc to show the nested data.
Also luckily some good drop-downs available now for selection.
Newbie here. I don’t see an option for a full list element. Short lists or horizontal lists are my only list options (on mobile, I don’t have web). Also, I don’t have drop downs at all. I’ve been hacking it with a sheet and a short list to simulate a drop down. Is there some trick to get these other elements…?
@tdog2x yeah it’s not an element type it’s actually a view type, so you select it by clicking on the top page part of the view, instead of scrollable etc you can pick vertical list.
Hi! I have been struggling with this same issue for a while and I wasn’t able to find a solution to this. I feel like my hours of work was for nothing with the options disappearing all of a sudden and coming back in about 1 second.
My setup was using nested Short lists on a Sheet (a reusable). I do not have the option of setting element type a List on the reusable, so I couldn’t find the solution you suggested. Could you please elaborate a bit on how you restructured your setup?
Any details or examples would be super appreciated!
Yeah I dont think you can do full lists in reusables atm, its only on the view level.
Essentially we are keeping any use of short lists to be for 5-10 records max, so we had to refactor a lot of our UX to fit with that.
If its flashing up but not crashing, then it might be a different issue you’re experiencing though, our issue was casing the app to fully crash after a few minutes of use.
Side note, we have been finding its important to make things the simplest they can possibly be, the more complexity, the higher the chance of bugs atm.
No, it is not crashing the app but all of the items on the Nested Short List flash. I’ll try to find a solution, probably will add a new view like you did.
And thanks for reminding the simplicity. The view I am developing might start getting a bit complex if you say so, I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible.
