Suddenly today a condition on an action (Only if this condition is true) is no longer preventing that action from being invoked. This is the case on earlier versions of the same app of mine so I’m sure it’s not something that I have done. It must be related to a change in the AppSheet platform in the past 24 hours. Am I the only one to experience such a problem? If needed I’ll send a more complete description of the problem to AppSheet support.
UPDATE: The problem only occurs on a web interface, including the AppSheet editor. The app works on my smartphone.
SECOND UPDATE: The difference between my phone and my browser occurred because my phone did not update immediately.
@praveen Can we have someone look into this? Looks like it’s still flying under the radar but it might be making some big waves and might not be immediately noticed by those it impacts.
I just tried my app in my browser and the problem is basically unchanged there. And, as I wrote in my message to support@appsheet.com, my app is working on my phone but not in my browser.
The reason I say “basically” unchanged is that I had two issues and one has been resolved. I also reported in my message to “support” that menus in one view were not appearing properly. That is no longer a problem. The problem with the action condition in the browser, however, is unchanged.
@Appsheet-GLM, you indicated that your app is working on Android. So, do you also only see the problem in your browser? I wonder if @Gaurav_Khandelwal, @APiCC_Conor, and @Daisy_Ramirez are also experiencing differences between performance on mobile devices and browsers.
Hi @Kirk_Masden I couldn’t find the email you mentioned. Can you forward it to adam@appsheet.com directly? As well as any details I would need to reproduce the behavior, if not already included.

@Adam has helped me see that this is not a platform issue. For some reason, web pages update immediately but the AppSheet app on our phones may not. To replicate the problem on my phone, I erased AppSheet and then reinstalled it. Now, my app works (or doesn’t work) in the same way on both my mobile device and my browser.
This leads me to another question: How can we be sure that our mobile devices have the latest version of the AppSheet platform without going to the trouble of erasing AppSheet and downloading it again?
Doesn’t the updater for the AppSheet container work like any other mobile app? I mean, you find there is an update and tap the “Update” option. No need to erase and re-install…or am I missing something?
As far as knowing WHEN there is an update…it would be nice for us developers to know when and what is updated. Or is that already available somehow?
Thanks @WillowMobileSystems! I posted a separate inquiry about this:
[When kill / restart is not enough](https://community.appsheet.com/t/when-kill-restart-is-not-enough/15979) Questions
I recently got some help with a bug: https://community.appsheet.com/t/new-bug-encountered-action-condition-suddenly-not-working/15929 Thankfully, the issue has been resolved. Through the process I learned that changes in the AppSheet platform are reflected more-or-less immediately when I use my app in a browser (a simple refresh is enough) but that on my Huawei Android phone I needed to uninstall and then reinstall the app to see the latest changes in the AppSheet reflected in the behavior of…
I hope we get some enlightening comments / explanations.
hi all,
My action is to hide the action icon if any of these conditions is true:
AND(IN(USEREMAIL(),TM[Email]),CONTEXT(“View”)<>“START & STOP”,CONTEXT(“View”)<>“CCV”,Status<>“DONE”,ISNOTBLANK([TM Number]),OR(IN(“Admin1”,TM[APP ROLE]),IN(“Admin2”,TM[APP ROLE]),IN(“Admin3”,TM[APP ROLE])))
it was working yesterday (unless inadvertently touched).
Nevertheless, i have sliced the formula bit by bit and still not working now.
I have closed the app, refreshed the browser but to no avail.
