Issues with new mobile framework

I’ve noticed the following annoyances with the new mobile framework:

  1. When clicking on dropdown entries in form view, a list of possible items with a search bar on top is opened. However, the search bar does not receive focus and requires an additional tap in order to activate. It would be great to just be able to start typing to narrow down the list of items.

  2. The same list of items disappears after each sync (if a sync is happening in the background while the list is open). Therefore, when adding multiple rows to a table, after the first one is added, and a sync is triggered, one has to wait for the sync to finish in order to add another row. Otherwise, if the ongoing sync finishes while selecting an item in a dropdown menu, the list of items will disappear and will require restarting the process.

  3. When selecting multiple rows in table view, the back button does not remove the selection, instead it closes the app.

Just to be sure you are aware, you only want to use the New Mobile Framework, and any Preview Feature, for testing and evaluation. Do not use them on live apps until the feature is announced as generally available. They are less stable and could cause app issues.

Any issues you encounter for the New Mobile Framework, should be reported on the Announcement thread for this feature found at the link below. They also request any bugs are reported through tickets to App Sheet support for better tracking.
