Display form, DataSource no longer selectable in Options Tab

Posted on by CU11011415-0 472

This app is using Static data, imported Excel tables. 

So I'm not sure if this Is this the default behaviour for this type of app or not.

I can manually add a DataCard and form fields but it does not auto populate the form as expected.

 

Steps to repeat issue:

Place a Display form control on the canvas

In the Options panel, select the No datasource selected.

Selecting the datasource , no changes in Options panel

Go to advanced tab, data source is present ? but the Options tab remains unchanged.

    Hi KC,

     

    I have just tested with the steps you described. And at first, I cannot seem to see all the data fields of the data source in Datacards too. But after I select to add a new data card and played around with the Advanced for some clicks, I went back to option and it will show all the data source fields correctly and I can choose to make the data cards visible/invisible.

    Hi Mona, 

    I was finally able to get the options panel to change the datasource by doing what you describe, not sure what was happening there. 

     

    Thank you for looking into this.
