Hi all!
In the “Behaviour” section of the AppSheet, we have system generated actions like “Edit”, “Add”, “Delete”. The ‘Behaviour’ section of each of these actions is supposed to allow a condition based appearance of these actions. However, they don’t work for me as intended.
I’ll give an example.
There’s a “New” button that is shown at the end of each inline view of a child table when I’m in the parent table’s detail view. This “New” button disappears when the system generated action ‘Add’ pertaining to the child table is set to “Do not display” from the ‘prominence’ option in the ‘Appearance’ section. But if I try to get it to disappear by writing an expression through the ‘Only if this condition is true’ of the ‘Behaviour’ section, it doesn’t work. I wanted the “New” button to disappear if a column called ‘Follow up_SUM’ returns a value of ‘9’, but show only if the value is 0,1,3,4,5,6,8. But this doesn’t work, and the “New” button is still shown when the value is ‘9’. The weird thing is, if I go and take off the value ‘0’ from the show only if expression (which means, if the ‘Follow up_SUM’ column returns the value of ‘0’, the ‘New’ button should not be shown), the “New” button disappears as intended. But that is not what I want, I want the “New” button to disappear if the value returned is ‘9’. I can’t get it to work though.
Any reason for this behaviour?
Thanks.
