Have you ever experienced that your app is working properly in the Preview Mode but not in mobile phone?
I have an app with forms where some items are to be filled in automatically or based on the selection of the previous item. When I´m running the app in the Power Apps Preview Mode, all is working fine, but when I test the app on the mobile phone, 2 fields stay empty....
And before you ask, I´m working with the same version (I did publish my app before testing on the phone). What I´ve managed to find out is that the problematic fields are both from different entities.
My app is to be used for vouchers creation for a massage studio, the data source is CDS.
Basically, I have/use just 3 entities: Vouchers, Procedures and Users (the default one)
First problematic field:
The Price field Default property is: DataCardValue18.Selected.in_price
...All works well when in the Preview Mode but on the phone when I start the app and choose a procedure from the list, the Price field remains empty....
Second problematic field (I believe the issue is the same):
Again, in the Preview Mode it works fine but on mobile app the field remains empty….
Would be grateful for any suggestions...Thanks a lot
Hi, It did not work in the web browser as well
but your proposed workaround with LookUp did the trick
Thanks a lot.
Hi @Hancha ,
Have you run your published canvas app in web browser? Run well? Or same issue as that in your Mobile device?
Regarding the issue that you mentioned, I think this issue may be related to your Power Mobile App in your Mobile device. Please consider check if the version of the Power Mobile App is the latest version, if not, please upgrade it to the latest version, then try your app again, check if the issue is solved.
In addition, you could also consider take a try with the following workaround:
# First problematic field
Set the Default property of the Price field Text Box in your Edit form to following:
LookUp(Procedures, 'Unique Identifier Column' = DataCardValue18.Selected.'Unique Identifier Column').in_price
Note: I assume that the DataCardValue18 represents the procedure LookUp field ComboBox in your Edit form. The 'Unique Identifier Column' represents the Unique Identifier Column in your Procedures Entity.
# Second problematic field
Set the Text property of the Label to following formula:
LookUp(Users, User = SelectedVoucher.'Issued By'.User).'Full Name'
Please try above LookUp formula in your canvas app, then check if the issue is solved.
Regards,
