Can't seem to populate values in a collection, or at least see the values in View > Collections

Posted on by VTBob 20

Right now, I'm just trying to see if I can put values into a collection.

 

In my apps' OnStart event, I entered the function:

Collect(collActiveProjects, {FirstColumn: "Value1", SecondColumn: true}, {FirstColumn: "Value2", SecondColumn: false})

 

When I click on the View ribbon and select Collections, I can see the Collection and the two columns in the header row, but none of the data/data rows.  Am I missing something?

    Your code looks fine.  I assume you just need to Run OnStart.  This is because the app already open in edit mode and pressing play does not restart the app. See screenshot below for instructions.
