Incorrect dimensions of drop-down item list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 31

Hi there,

does anybody know, why my drop-down item list in my canvas app spreads through the whole screen on Android and iOS devices? I can't find any settings, where I could set the dimensions to be much smaller (like a small pop-up window). Please check my picture attached.

Many thanks for your suggestions! 🙂

    Hi @janklaska ,

    It is designed to do this on the mobile app - it (I assume) gives the user more room to select. There are no settings to change this.

    Hi @WarrenBelz,

    I was afraid that I will receive answer such this. But anyway, thank you very much for your confirmation.

     

    EDIT:

    For anybody else, who will encounter the same issue - I implement a kind of work-around in my solution:

    1. I removed the particular form field from edit form menu.

    2. I added a new (empty) drop-down list to my edit screen manually.

    3. I populated list items in that drop-down (manually as well).

    4. Lastly, I used a patch function to update my data source with selected data from that drop-down.

     

    Maybe it will help someone too! 🙂
