Initializing item lists in preview mode

0

Hi,
Do you have any error in browser console?

Thanks,

Hi,
I don't think this is due to an error
As I guess from the description, the list is initialized in edit mode and in preview mode, no list items are displayed (and this is correct because this list does not have any rows yet).

The solution may be to initialize this list using the "Change items list values" action when you save a form.

No there is no error but the itemlist is not initializing. I think it has changed i new version.

The workaround is to use Data Table instead od Item List but we are wondering why the behaviour of Item Lists in preview mode has changed.

Hi,
yes, using Data Table (SQLGrid) can be a workaround
but in my opinion this behavior is correct - because the user (especially if he doesn't have edit rights) shouldn't see data that isn't actually saved on the form (those rows aren't in the database)

But the data we were showing on the Item list were representing child flows so there were statuses changing etc. When you are in preview mode you don't see those changes although they are already in the database.
Another udercut is that you cannot dynamicaly hide a column based on the atribute field value.
In Data tables you must show all columns wherase in item lists you could hide some columns.
Is there any other solution to this ?
Problem is that when you look on that item list which should be always "up to date" it is not when only in preview mode. So you must always get into edit mode to see the real (initialized) data.

ok. In this case, I think there are two options:
1. List of items BUT rows would have to be updated by child flows OR you can use SQL row columns which always show current data
2. SQL grid - always shows current data.

I think the second option is a better solution.
I don't know how many columns you show/hide, but you can make 2-3 SQL grids with different number of columns and always show only one of them depending on the conditions.
