can an App Studio app retain field values?

DaveWeiss

I am working on an app in app studio where people enter their name and email along with some other information and then submit a record. If they immediately want to add another record is there a way to have some fields retain the previous value so the person does not have to retype their name and email?

No, I never contacted ESRI directly about it.

Dave,

There are many ways to achieve this but in general, it is basically saving the values you want to retain in a model, then reloading it back to the TextBox

This is an example, liquid/SuggestionBox.qml at master · jturcotte/liquid · GitHub

Thank you,

Erwin

Do the user details have to be changed on the Settings Page? What I was trying to do is save what the user entered in the Name field when they finish the details page and populate the text box with that value next time they run the app. Never opening the Settings Page.

Hi Dave

I've used the workaround and it does save the user details on closure and loads them on opening. The limitation of the workaround is that there's no option to pass the details from one page to another, in the same session. For example, if you change the user details on the SettingsPage - the new information will not be loaded onto the AddDetailsPage until the app is closed and restarted.

I've tried a number of different options to resolve this but to no avail. Sorry I can't be of more assistance

Cheers,

Orlo

Thanks, I have started looking into the code and got as far as populating the text box with a valued when the app opens. I haven't been able to save the value of a text box when the app closes. That thread you referenced seems to end at that point with the same question. Can you tell me in which file a variable that is to be updated should get defined?

Short answer is no. This seems to be a frequent request Cached Text Responses? Check out this thread for a work-around Save User Info in Quick Report When App is Closed
