Compound actions keep breaking throughout my app. Losing lots of time and money going back and fixing them each time and rebuilding all the forms etc. Someone should look into this.

Take a look at this: [image] new Actions! zapzapzap Can you please share a screenshot of a buggy action? And what is the buggy behavior? One thing that we see a lot of, that we didn’t anticipate, is interleaving row updates with navigation (e.g. Go Back, Set a Value, Go Back, Go Back, Set a Value).

Basically its is this. Where an action was applied and breaks, instead of showing the layout properly, it is like its starting fresh will all the sheets elements listed as components like when you start a details view. Also buttons or form buttons where I added a sound effect stop working- wont trigger the action, so I have to remake the buttons anew. Common is a form button switches to a button and the out of the blue and the form must be rebuilt. When the sound effects were released, I went applied sound effects on all the buttons I could, around a 15-20. I have had to remake those buttons and their layouts numerous times now. I am giving up on the idea for now but in some place I need compound actions and I am not sure what to do now beside to wait for the bugs to be sorted out.! Here is an example when they breakScreen Shot 2020-12-10 at 2.22.25 PM|690x403 Should look like this: [Screen Shot 2020-12-10 at 2.24.49 PM]

Yes, I have seen that too- I made some <Back buttons, and when they break, they link to another tab. I am thinking the breaks and screw ups are occurring as I build out the app/add more tabs. Maybe somehow the actions are relying on an underlying structure of the whole app at the time of creation and when the app grows/structure changes, they can’t accommodate for this? Just a guess.

I had another complete screen linked from a compound action broken today. Had to rebuild the whole thing.

Same thing (kinda) happened to me. I had a single action saying link to screen, and I decided to make it a compound action by link to screen & play sound - and I lost all of my data in the linked screen. It sucked. :expressionless:

Yes that was the same error here. When I clicked the button it showed just “Error” while the compound action is still there.

Sounds effects definitely have buggy issues. I was unwise to run and put sounds on all my buttons and form buttons. I will spend several days reformatting everything. Harsh.

Bizarre. Sound effects and notifications are literally the only things that are working for me 100% of the time

Well, it is not just those with sound effects. I am just making guesses really but I hope someone is taking a serious look at this…

I too have notified Glide of compound actions glitching/breaking—namely it occurs when setting conditions within the compound action in tandem with a form or link to screen. Not sure what’s happening. I’ve just had to rebuild :frowning:
