[OutSystems UI] Dropdown Search - No options when change screen
outsystems-ui
Reactive icon
Forge asset by OutSystems
Application Type
Mobile
Service Studio Version
11.54.47 (Build 63164)

I have an issue with the Dropdown Search component: every time I navigate within the application and return to a screen I've previously encountered, the options don't appear to be available. The dropdown search is bound with an aggregate (it happens with both remote and local entities), but I cannot understand if the problem is related to the aggregate or the component.

1) there is a dropdown search with one option.

2) open the menu and navigate to the same screen

3) there are no options to show.


In the attachments area, you can find an example about it.

Hi @Samuele Colombo 

I was not able to reproduce it using 2.8.3.
That seems to be something on the aggregate that is taking longer on your end or failing.
Try to enclose the dropdown search component on an If-statement looking at the GetSubjects.IsDataFetched to make sure the data is available for the object to be properly created.

Hi Samuele,

I tried your OML but i'm not encountering the same issue.
For me, the Option 1 remains available even if a navigate to the menu and then go back or re-navigate to screen 1.

Without being able to replicate your problem, i would assume that the issue must be somewhere in the OnReady action of the Splash screen

Regards

Hi Thibaut,

Thank you for your answer. What version of the OutSystems UI library are you referring to? I forgot to mention that my version is still the 2.8.3 and I cannot upgrade it.

Regards on your assumption, the code in the OnReady action of the Splash screen is only to store some data in the local storage... you can actually remove it because it happens even with the standard aggregate.
