Navigation Deeplink with "mapcolumn"

[Fabian_Weller]

Does anyone have expierience with the “mapcolumn” link parameter?
It is mentioned here under “Manually Constructing Deep Links”.

Under UX > Views I have defined my map column [XY] for my “Map_View”.
I want to use the LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW() to open the map with a different map column: [XY_VC]

Something like:
LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW("Map_View", <<Filter_Condition>>) & "&mapcolumn=XY_VC"

I’m pretty sure that this was working until yesterday. But now, the mapcolumn parameter will be ignored.

I know I could solve this by creating another map view. But I thought I could avoid this.

I would create a map view ux with that column as the xy, then simply LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW()

Hi @Grant_Stead yes you are right. But if the mapcolumn parameter would work, you could avoid an extra map view.

I’m not perfectly sure what you’re trying to achieve. Nested xy type views or something?

I want to do this without the need of a second map view.

Format Rules Delay when referring to the Parent Table Questions

I wrote to support@appsheet.com on 09.Feb.2021 about this. Back then I didn’t understand that it has to do with the referring to another table. AppSheet Support was not able to help me. My goal was to use XY map view with Format Rules. Now I found a workaround to get it done without the delay: I added a Virtual Column to my Child Table with the expression: [XY] So it’s just a copy of my XY column. I named this column [XY_VC]. I made 2 map views: One with the map column [XY] and one with the …
