Why is my page showing garbage data instead of database data?

Hi,

We have a form that you can fill in with your data (it also has some preset text in some fields).

Creating and updating the document works well. However, when we use the reset functionality, garbage/empty values appear once we reload the page.

Note that the data in the database is correct. However, in the form, empty fields are shown (instead of the database fields).

Has anybody stumbled upon a similar issue, and how did you solve it?

Thank you in advance!

Reloading the page and reseting the fields do the same thing: put the “default value” into said fields.

I guess the default values are dynamic formulas, can you share a screenshot?

It has to do something with the way to retrieve the data.

What’s the datatype value for the container group & for input fields’ default values?

Hi Bonjour, yes the default values are dynamic formulas, here is an example:

We have the default values in the fields. We just don’t understand why when we reset the status to default value and reload the page, we see an empty form, instead of the data that shall come from the database!

Hi, Bestbubbledev, see above screenshot! Yes, definitely some conflict on how we retrieve the data, but it’s weird, as it only appears after a reset + reload

What does the inspector say about the “Document Content’s Questions” ? Is it correct?

Also you mentionned in your initial post that the data is often “garbage”. Having garbage and empty values can be very different things. So is it garbage or empty?
Also, please describe what garbage is
