Checkmark Field checked on Universal layout can’t be found in a saved search.
I have a checkmark field on the default layout and a universal layout. I have a saved search that finds all of the records with the checkmark set to true.
If I set the checkmark on the default layout the saved search works correctly. If I set the checkmark on the universal layout it is not registered as true by the saved search. The checkmark shows up on the default layout but the saved search doesn’t register the check. If you uncheck the checkmark and recheck it on the default layout then it works.
I wrote a script to count the records with the checkmark checked and it didn’t see the records that were checked on the universal layout.
I tried a screen layout and it didn’t have this problem.
Hi Steven,
I’m looking into this. Very strange.
Ok, I have a fix coming for this.
Thanks for letting me know.
I’m having the same (or similar) issue. In my database, I have a checkmark field called “1/4 Inch Compatible”. I have more than 5 records with this check box field checked, yet a saved search for “is the field true,” yields only 5 records. When I first made the saved search, it only reported 2 records. Somehow another 3 showed up, but that’s still not accurate. Also, if I delete the saved search and then select new saved search, it pre-populates the criteria field with the checkmark criteria without me asking for that. Not sure if it’s supposed to do that or not. Seems odd.
I can send you my database if it helps.

Hi Gary,
Yes, please send me a backup and I’ll look into it for you. When you click on the Saved Search button on the toolbar, if a Saved Search is currently selected, Tap Forms will display the criteria already setup for that search. Did you click on the Form itself before clicking on the Saved Search button on the toolbar? That’s when you’ll be able to create a new Saved Search instead of editing the existing Saved Search.
Thanks,
Brendan
