Hello!

I am facing a problem now. I have developed a "5S Check" APP. This APP has 2 cascading dropdowns. It works well in "Preview" model during "Edit" process. But it doesn't work in "Play" model. Here I list the step I develop this APP:

1. I have created a "5s check" app by starting my data from share point list in phone layout (list name: 5S Check). It has 2 cascading dropdowns which depend on another share point list named "Department and line"

2.These cascading dropdowns works well in "Preview" model during "Edit" process.

3.But when I use this APP in "Play" model it doesn't work well. The content of cascading dropdown doesn't display in APP.

There are 2 big differences between "Preview" model and "Play" model:

  1. The contents of cascading dropdowns can display in "Preview" model but not in  "Play" model.
  2. Layout of APP in  "Preview" model is total different from that in "Play" model (see above photos).

Please help to solve these problems.

Thanks!

    Looks like there are some other differences as well, eg the play model has a different order in the fields etc, and the dropdowns are populated by samples. Are you sure you published the latest save of your app?

    Hi KvB1,

    Yes, I have published the latest save of this app. Then I have found these problems that I mentioned above when I use this app.
