Description

  • When editing an App, there are problems creating forms and adding form elements. I can add these elements but they do not appear in the App…

How to replicate

If you create a new application from scratch and perform the same action, does it also occur?

Please note that other than your first choice component, all other components were added outside of the form container and not part of the form. You can see by how they were indented in your video. Those other components are probably trying to point to an existing row linked to the screen itself, and maybe your screen source table is empty or you have a filter or row owners applied to the table, causing no rows to be accessible.

First of all, make sure to place ALL form related components INSIDE the form container instead of outside of it.

Second, your choice component may not be displaying if the source table for your list of choices does not have any rows of data. Make sure it has data to display for your list of choices.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you so much for your prompt and detailed response. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into analyzing my issue and providing such comprehensive guidance. I’m pleased to inform you that you were absolutely correct in your assessment. The root of the problem indeed lay in properly establishing the Excel table source for the form elements to appear. Your insight was spot-on and incredibly helpful. I must admit I was getting quite confused because, from the very beginning, I was struggling to get the components to automatically recognize the table I intended to use. This initial difficulty led me down a bit of a confusing path, and I ended up complicating things for myself.

Thank you for your understanding and for being such a valuable resource in the community.

Hi Maxime,
Thanks a lot for jumping in and offering a solution!

Just wanted to let you know that the issue was actually resolved through a different approach. The main problem was with setting up the Excel table source for the form elements, which was why they weren’t showing up. You can check out the details of the solution in my next message in this thread. I hope it helps anyone else who might run into the same issue!

Thanks again for your support,
Yago
