Quick edit on detail view not consifering required fields

[Jonathan1]

Hi,

Since a few weeks, we notice that quick edit on detail view are not considering required fields.

No more "*" beside the name and we can remove the value, sync will end up with an error because the field is required.

If we edit the row, everything is ok, fields are required.

This is only on Desktop mode, On mobile, fields are required in detail view.

A quick testing showed that it is working for me in the desktop mode. The "*" for the required columns shows and the detail view cannot be saved.

Not sure what this means. 

Does it mean you are seeing the issue in BOTH Desktop Mode and on Mobile?
Issues on Mobile only when Desktop Mode is selected?

Regardless, I am not seeing an issue.  Below are screenshots of an app I use daily that has Desktop Mode on.  I views my Detail View with Quick Edit fields and all expected required fields are marked with "*" as expected.

Do you you have expressions determining requirement?  Maybe they are not providing the response you expect??

Thanks @WillowMobileSys - @Suvrutt_Gurjar  for your reply 🙂

Yes, that is exactly my issue but in my case, on desktop, fields are not required. On mobile, yes, everything is fine.

I have tried from different browsers and different devices.

I tried to duplicate the view, same issue.

I started a new view with the exact same fields and data slice and that one is ok!!! There is a little bug somewhere in that view.

Hmmm.  Do you have any "Required_If" expressions implemented in the table? 

Also note that the fields must be visible and Editable.  I only mention this in case the bug is something else - e.g. a field showing that shouldn't be or is Editable when it shouldn't be.

If all that checks out then I definitely would submit a ticket to AppSheet support!!!

We finally found the issue.

We have a "Show" field that we use on Desktop mode to seperate blocks and get a title... But that field is visible under some conditions. When that field is hidden, it breaks the required field only on desktop mode.

If I remove that field from the view it is working perfectly, if I leave it and another row is showing that field required fields are working.

There is a little bug here. I'll let know support about that.
