Posted on by 5,331 Moderator
I have a screen with Main Gallery (RTPR_Track_Photos_Gallery) that has RTPG_Container within.

Main Gallery Items has - col_Inspection_Report_Data,
through the Main Gallery Data Source has - SRI_Inspection_Report_Data

Container visible has - true 

All fields in the contain are populated by look up formulas, such as -
First(col_Invoice_Data).col_Client_Address
and
First(col_New_Inspection).col_NI_ReportNumber

The is a Image Gallery (RTPGC_Uploaded_Track_Photos_Gallery) in the Container, the items of which
has - col_Inspection_Track_Photos.

In Play mode no data shows.
Play Mode -



In Edit mode all of the data shows. What am I missing?

    I guess the first question is why you need a Container in a Gallery - I do not think they were ever really designed for this purpose as the Gallery then has to render one (and its contents) for every record. If it is not displaying, I suspect that is the reason - have you considered simply placing the controls in the Gallery using their X and Y poistions ?

    I created this app in my environment.

    Everything works fine my environment.

    I moved the app, in a Solution, to another environment, and I am experiencing the PDF display issue
    in the new environment that I am not experiencing in my version.

    Here is the Review Track Photos screen in my version of the app. The image is added in the Media
    control of the Track Photo Screen and displayed here in the Gallery along with relevant data above. 


    A button on the above screen initiaites the PDF creation. 

    The Media control button has - 
    If(IP_Photo_Type_Radio.Selected.Value = "Track Photos",
    Set(
        varInspectionPhotoName,
        GUID()
    );
    Collect(
        col_Inspection_Track_Photos,
        {
            DisplayName: IP_Image_Description_TI.Text & "-" & IP_Inspection_Number_Fld.Text & ".jpg",
            Id: varInspectionPhotoName,
            Description: IP_Image_Description_TI.Text,
            Value: IP_Add_Uploaded_Photo_Media_Button.Media
     
        }
    );




    He is my version -
    The photo capture screen. Clicking 'Review Track Photos' navigates user to review screen.

    The 'Add Media' button has - 
    If(IP_Photo_Type_Radio.Selected.Value = "Track Photos",
    Set(
        varInspectionPhotoName,
        GUID()
    );
    Collect(
        col_Inspection_Track_Photos,
        {
            DisplayName: IP_Image_Description_TI.Text & "-" & IP_Inspection_Number_Fld.Text & ".jpg",
            Id: varInspectionPhotoName,
            Description: IP_Image_Description_TI.Text,
            Value: IP_Add_Uploaded_Photo_Media_Button.Media
     
        }
    );


    Here is the Review Track Photos Screen (in Edit, in Play it is all grey), where you can see the image taken appears in the gallery.
    The Gallery Items has - col_Inspection_Track_Photos

    The 'Create Track Photos PDF Report' button has the following, and navigates
    the user to the 'Track Photos PDF Report Screen'-
    Set(
        varTrackPhotosReportPDFBlob,
        PDF(
            RTPR_Track_Photos_Gallery,
            {
                Orientation:PaperOrientation.Portrait,
                Size:PaperSize.A4,
                Margin:"0px",
                DPI: 50}));



    Track Photos Screen in Play. No data or image is visible.


    Same issue with the Invoice screen. Here it is in Edit mode.


    Here is it in Play mode. No date displayed.

    Sorry I have no idea and cannot really comment without building a model to test it. However I have seen other instances where elements (particularly complex items)  transferred in a Solution do not work as expected.
