Unexpected empty list when switching between filtered menus

Support
1

Hello all,

I am experiencing an issue where a list appears empty when switching from one filtered menu to another. I have attached a sample FDF demonstrating the problem.

I have a table ‘Plant’ with two fields:
Field Type (F or V)
Field name (Text).

I have a menu “Fruits & Vegetables” with two sub-menus calling the same Form:

  • Fruits, data Filter Type = ‘F’
  • Vegetable, data Filter Type = ‘V’

When I click the first sub-menu “Fruits”, the list displays the fruits of the table as expected.
However when I click then click the “Vegetables” sub-menu the list is empty.

To see the vegetables, I must first click the parent menu “Fruits & Vegetables” and then click “Vegetables” again. The same thing happens when trying to navigate back to “Fruits”.

Is there a way to fix this behavior?

Thanks for your help!

Jean

Hi Jean,

Thank you for bringing this scenario to our attention.

It happens because behind the scenario you are not changing forms (Action).
The good news is this is no longer happens in the next release (which we are currently in the testing phase).

The alternative solution for now, is to duplicate of the form Plants, like I did in the image below and link the menu to this new form.

When the new realise comes, you should be able to delete this form and use only one again.

Thank you

Thank you! This solves some little glitches I had elsewhere in my application.
