Save and Load Data not working

Posted on by FrronVestas

I have previously worked with SaveData and LoadData and it has always worked perfectly fine. In fact I have multiple saves and loads running in the app I am currently building.
I have however run in to an issue where I cannot seem to either Save or Load data correctly for one collection.

I have one button that saves data as such:

On another screen I have a button that loads data shown below:

However, when tried in the desktop app or on phones or anywhere I can imagine the ScreenTestCol ALWAYS contains "Final Signature".
I have also tried saving it as a variable, and I have tried to load with the third parameter as true.

Hope someone is able to help me.
Thank you in advance.

Try changing the collection name when you LoadData to the same name you use when you SaveData. If you use the same source name in all cases it will work. When you use a different source name it essentially returns a null because there is no data stored for that source.

That seems to have done the trick. I was unaware that I could not load data in to a new collection.
Thank you for your help. much appreciated.

The problem is that the SaveData and LoadData actually save the collection itself and not just the data in the collection.
