Functions for DisplayName keep reverting to their values!

Hi,

 
Think I found a huge bug - DisplayName keeps changing to a "static" string.

The function that used to be here was a Text(Lookup(.....)) .The lookup was based on a SQL View. My table gets its data from a ClearCollect where the column names are numbers. My lookup took those numbers and changed them to a yearweek string ("2018-32" in the example below). For some reason it is now just a string, my function is gone!

Please fix this serious issue! Thanks

    Hi @agneum,

     

    Could you please let me know which control you are working with  (a Card control within the Form or something else) ?

     

    Would it work if the formula entered directly into the Displayname field?

     

    If would be much apperciated if the repro steps could be provided, I will help to check from my side.

     

    Regards,

    Michael

    Canvas > Card > DataTable

     

    DisplayName lookup function was entered under each column in the DataField under "Controls > Advanced > Data > DisplayName" 

    I will try to enter the formula directly in the DisplayName field (in the top row) as opposed to the controls pane in to the right. Will update as soon as I have more info.
