AppSheet Input() BETA Status

I have started to use the Input() feature to prompt user input. However, the performance is inconsistent. Is there a developer that is capturing these issues. I would like to know if the one’s I am seeing are being worked on.

In general, the Input Box hangs every once in a while. There is no consistent way to repeat it.

Thanks,

Robert.

It depends on what this means, INPUT() has been quite reliable for me.
You can’t save it for example? That’s related to your valid_if or required_if rules

Below is a screen shot of where the Hang happens.

  1. I have a action that sets the value of Location for a Customer Order.

  2. When this dialog opens, the order hangs often.

  3. I may be running into a locking issue on the record. (Not sure.)

  4. This seems like a typical use case. The Location fields has no other constraints. (see Image 2)

Check all of your columns and it’s required or valid rules, INPUT() checks all of them even if just one is being shown in the pop-up form

Yep. the field I was trying to update was set to a conditional hidden value. When I removed this, the hanging stopped.
