Issue with Virtual Column-Dependent Elements Not Displaying Correctly on Desktop View

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue where certain elements in my AppSheet application that depend on virtual columns do not display correctly in the desktop (web) view. These same elements appear and function as expected in the mobile view.

The list shown above is composed in a virtual column by concatenating two values: the code and the name. It displays correctly in the mobile view, but it is not visible in the desktop view.

The same issue occurs when the field is displayed in table view โ€” it is visible on mobile but not on desktop.

This inconsistency seems to be specifically related to the rendering of elements that rely on virtual columns, and it affects the usability of the application on desktop platforms.

Could you please investigate this behavior or advise if there's a known workaround?

Thank you,

  • Double-check the virtual column's expression. If it returns a complex or nested value (like a list, record, or image), it may render differently depending on the device.
  • Ensure the expression outputs a plain text (Text) value if your goal is just to concatenate and display a label (e.g., CONCATENATE([Code], " - ", [Name])).
  • Go to UX > Views > Your Table View and ensure the virtual column is explicitly listed under Column Order or Display Columns.

  • Sometimes columns excluded by default in table views on web can still appear on mobile due to adaptive layout behavior.

Thank you very much; I've checked all the options you've mentioned. I've found out that the issue isn't actually with AppSheet, but rather with the browser. It works properly in Edge and Chrome, but not in Brave, which is the one I usually use.
Thanks again!
