We’re having some issues with the “Selectable List” element in native mobile, specifically when transitioning it from hidden to visible, where it takes up to 30 seconds to load the list. The list is only 50 items (US States) from an optionset so I’d think that this should load pretty quickly.
Has anyone else had issues with showing/hiding selectable lists and long load times? Any recommendations on how we can speed this up?
I try to stay away from Selectable Lists as mush as possible. They are very confusing to use when Custom States are involved and unless it’s for a Yes/No or sub-menu (couple of items only) elements, the load time is terrible.
For US states or countries, I would recommend vertical lists or short lists instead.
Thanks @timmarcie. I went with the short list and the load time is still pretty crazy. We’ll see if it gets better with age.
Yeah, shortlists are far from being ideal as well. Vertical list is your safest bet. You can add a pinned element at the top or bottom of the list where you’d typically place a text input to filter the list items. For whatever datatype that you’re going to put in that list, make sure you have a display field in all lower or uppercase.
That way, your filtering will be much much quicker and efficient because you can add the constraint
Lower_case_Display contains Text Input A’s value:lowercase.
as opposed to using the :filter operator that’s going to add latency and WU.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Edit: yes. the question “text=text” is case-sensitive. that’s why you need to set all in lower or uppercase.
