Description

  • I followed the following SOP for getting the distance between an address and a users location:

But the data tab does not update with the results of this calculation. The calculation is successful and a user can see the distance if displayed in the app GUI.

How to replicate

  • Create distance to location calculation
  • Have user sign in so location is pulled
  • See if Distance calculation updates in data tab

This is not a bug. The Distance to Location column is a computed column that evaluates on each users device. So you won’t see anything in the Data Editor. If you need to view this data for all users, then you will need an action that writes the result to a non-computed column.
