Hi!

One of my tabs is not applying the correct tab visibility set. I have 3 tabs that should only be seen by businesses and one tab that should only be seen by the public.

In my user profile sheet, I have a Relation then Lookup setup bringing over the email addresses that are found in the business directory sheet. If the signed-in user email address does not match one in the business sheet, the cell is blank in the lookup column, and if they are a business it’s filled in with their email address.

For tab visibility, I have the 3 business tabs I have is set to show when the Lookup column is not empty and that their email address is signed-in user. That seems to be working.

For the one public tab, however, when I switch my view to a non-business email, this tab does not show up. One of the business tabs shows ups instead. Not sure what’s wrong, this is pretty easy setup.

Thanks!

This is in the app editor only, and should not happen in your apps:

Right now, we intentionally do not remove the current tab from view when it becomes invisible so that it does not disappear while you are editing it, but this breaks the feedback loop. We should have a better solution in place by Tuesday. We will also let you select and edit hidden tabs. Rest assured that tabs are still removed from view when they become invisible in apps.

I see! Thanks David! It seems to working from the mobile app side, it wasn’t before. In the app editior however only one tab shows up when I switch to a non-business email not all 4 tabs.
