Bug encountered. Show If stopped working but only in one app

Hello AppSheet Team,

Show If constraints are not being respected in one of my apps. Is it a Bug?

  • When Show if is marked, the field is shown
  • When it is unmarked, the field is hidden

BUT!!

  • If the field has a condition, whith any expression, the field is SHOWN. A mere FALSE or 0=1 in the Show If formula, make the field visible.

Other findings

  • It happens only in one particular app. Very very strange… Older apps respect it.
  • it started today. It was working normally until today morning I think.
  • I tried it both: with the “New desktop design” preview feature enabled and disabled.
  • Affects mobile and desktop views.
  • All views (or at least many of them) have the same issue. Seems to be a table issue not a view issue.

Thank you for looking into this.

Please post configuration screenshots of:

  • The column
  • The Show_If expression.
  • At least one view in which Show_If is not working.
