New mobile framework (preview) - Buggy Display!

New mobile framework (preview)

There is a display bug when this is turned on.

You are editing in a form, and suddenly it jumps back to the top, losing your position.

It’s even worse on Tabbed forms; it loses the current tab and jumps to the first tab.

Pretty serious UX issue.

Make the new mobile framework unusable.

I cannot demonstrate it, but the techies need to test it out fully.

HI @CaptainEon

You will want to move this into the Preview Announcement post found at this link…

New Mobile Framework In Preview

In the new mobile framework, when using the Back button, the app always returns to the top of the previous view instead of preserving the scroll position. This causes loss of context and makes navigation frustrating, especially in long lists or detail views. About a year ago, we were told this behaviour would be addressed within a few weeks, and we planned and relied on that expectation while building the app.

it seems there are others having similar issues notes there.

@CaptainEon It would help yes to report it through official chains to help push this preview along.

There have been alot of cases where the browser or app breadcrumbs are lost and don’t allow correct navigating backwards to previously known positions or pages. @Jose_Arteaga

They are aware however don’t seem to be able to commit to anything right now. I wish I could share better news, but even the team leads are silent and unreachable by the members of community. We are told to reach out and ask what’s happening in upcoming features but the channel to reach out is disabled . @cschalk_ws

Hello @CaptainEon and all,

As @Denzil_Snyman correctly states, this has been reported before and product team is aware of the same.

I will let them know about this new report and get back to you.

Hi everyone,

I’m reporting a bug related to the New Mobile Framework that has been confirmed as reproducible by another community member.

Setup:

• Table view (Oggi) based on a Slice of the Assistenze table, embedded inside a Dashboard view
• Multiple actions configured as “Display prominently” with condition set to TRUE
• All actions correctly listed and enabled in the Slice settings

The problem:
Bulk actions work perfectly in desktop mode. On Android mobile, after selecting rows via long press, the checkboxes appear correctly but NO action buttons appear anywhere — not at the bottom, not in the upper-right corner, not in the 3-dot menu.

Additional findings:

• Bulk actions in Dashboard views were historically never officially supported
• With the New Mobile Framework, row selection via long press is now possible inside Dashboard views, but the action buttons never appear
• This is likely either an unintended behavior that crept into the implementation, or an incomplete feature
• Disabling the New Mobile Framework removes even the row selection capability

The really strange part:
In the AppSheet editor preview, BEFORE saving, the bulk action buttons appear correctly. As soon as the app is saved and redeployed, they disappear on mobile.

What I’ve tried:

• Setting all action conditions to TRUE
• Removing Security Filters
• Setting Row Selected to Empty Action
• Manual sync on device
• Disabling/enabling New Mobile Framework

Is there any plan to officially support bulk actions in Dashboard views on mobile? And is there a recommended workaround in the meantime?

Thanks
