Posted on by Andries1 46

I've set a variable making use of Navigate('Scan Admin Screen', ScreenTransition.Cover, {ScanAdmin: DataCardKey28})

 

It pulls through to mentioned screen DataCardValue19.Text & "_" & ScanAdmin.Text

 

Everything appears to be working perfectly, but when I publish the app the Variable does not show the specific text?

 

The TextField shows "DataCardValue19(Content)_" but the last part(ScanAdmin variable) is missing or not showing at all?

 

Why is this?

    This code is missing a reference to the Text property of the DataCardKey and therefore will not return anything.  Please make the following change.

     

    Navigate('Scan Admin Screen', ScreenTransition.Cover, {ScanAdmin: DataCardKey28.Text})

     

    Please also note, you are creating ScanAdmin as a context variable so it will reset to Blank() when the user navigates away from 'Scan Admin Screen'.

    You are getting this error because you have several instances of ScanAdmin within your app that store variables of differing data types.  There are only 2 solutions:

     

    • Change the context variable ScanAdmin to a different name in that instance
    • Go through your entire app and make sure ScanAdmin always evaluates to Text
