App crashes when checking variables from the command bar if a Named Formula is defined with a variable

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

When I defined a Named Formula as a calculation with a variable it works fine, and all calculation is done correctly. However, when I try to check the Variables from the command bar, it crashes the app. The variable is set to the selection of a dropdown box. When I substituted the variable with directly referring to the dropdown box's selected title, I can check the Variables from the command bar without crashing.

    @Anonymous, Can you please share what expression you have on Named formula which causes the crash? What are the steps to repro the issue?

    In a new App, the variable was defined as:

    Set(varName, Dropdown.Selected);

    in the OnChange properties of a new Dropdown box with DropDownSample in the items.

     

    The Named Formula was defined as:

    NamedFormula = varName.Value;

     

    After that, check the Variables in the App by either:

    View > Variables (in legacy ribbon)

    OR

    ... > Variables (in modern command bar)

     

    The App would then display a pop up:

    Clicking the close button would then proceed to close the App and send the user back to the Apps List
