Wow, @stomper-steed-0r,
I am really unable to recall how this all turned out. In 2018, Bubble was a Wild West show, with a lot of inexplicable defects, and I did not get much help from Bubble support.
A lot has been fixed since then. I don’t know if my one and only app is still using a workaround to get past this problem.
I wish I could be more helpful.
