Hi,

I have a navigation bar with its items collected in the OnStart property of the application. I have not touched this navigation bar or its collection for months as it was working perfectly. Today, it's not. The navigation bar shows different items each time I run the OnStart command in the app. My connection is very good and not timing out. I've refreshed my Dataverse Tables to make sure the collection is capturing the latest data. Still the same issue.

Is there something new that's happened that I'm not aware of? Is this a known bug? I was planning on taking the app into production soon, and need to understand what is driving this error before I roll out. Any advice/suggestions/insights would be very highly appreciated.

Karim

Hi @PriyankaGeethik ,
I've taken the source code from the navigation component, because I'm also facing the same issue when populating the menu items in the component library.
In the below code, IconIDinCol refers to an image ID that is stored in a Dataverse Table.

Table(
{
IconName: "Home",
IconIDinCol: "Icon-ID-0020",
IconToolTipText:"Home",
Screen:App.ActiveScreen
},{
IconName: "Setup",
IconIDinCol: "Icon-ID-0026",
IconToolTipText:"Setup",
Screen:App.ActiveScreen
},{
IconName: "VM & CI",
IconIDinCol: "Icon-ID-0027",
IconToolTipText:"VM & CI",
Screen:App.ActiveScreen
},{
IconName: "SM",
IconIDinCol: "Icon-ID-0028",
IconToolTipText:"SM",
Screen:App.ActiveScreen
},{
IconName: "CD",
IconIDinCol: "Icon-ID-0029",
IconToolTipText:"CD",
Screen:App.ActiveScreen
},{
IconName: "Comms",
IconIDinCol: "Icon-ID-0030",
IconToolTipText:"Comms",
Screen:App.ActiveScreen
},{
IconName: "CA NW",
IconIDinCol: "Icon-ID-0031",
IconToolTipText:"CA NW",
Screen:App.ActiveScreen
},{
IconName: "MRA&R",
IconIDinCol: "Icon-ID-0032",
IconToolTipText:"MRA&R",
Screen:App.ActiveScreen
}
)

This is the code that captures the Dataverse table items and stores into the collection during the OnStart. Each Table contains the settings for different controls and screen elements (e.g. labels, dropdowns, buttons, etc.)
Concurrent(
Clear(col_IconImageBrandAttributes);
Collect(
col_IconImageBrandAttributes,
IconIMAGEENTITY
),
Clear(col_FontStyle);
Collect(
col_FontStyle,
FontStyleENTITY
),
Clear(col_ButtonStyle);
Collect(
col_ButtonStyle,
ButtonsENTITY
),
Clear(col_TextInputStyle);
Collect(
col_TextInputStyle,
TextInputFieldENTITY
),
Clear(col_ImageBrandAttributes);
Collect(col_ImageBrandAttributes,ImageEntity),
Clear(col_DropdownStyle);
Collect(col_DropdownStyle,DropdownENTITY),
Clear(col_DatePickerStyle);
Collect(col_DatePickerStyle,DatePickerENTITY)
)

@PriyankaGeethik . I found the culprit. I was getting the IconImage.Full whereas I should have been retrieving the IconImage.Value
Everything is back to normal. I'm still not sure why this became a problem all of a sudden whereas it's been working flawlessly for some months now. Still, any insights on what may have triggered this failure would be much appreciated.
