    Hi
    I am using verion 3.5.2 trial version on my Mac.
    I created a bunch of fields and input data. If I reorder the fields, or change the type of one field only, the data I input for all fields disappears.
    Is there a trick for this not to happen?
    I am hoping to upgrade my OS soon and purchase the latest version of TF but for now I can’t test whether this happens in the new version too.
    Thanks,
    Amanda

    Hi Amanda,

    Ah yes, the newest version of Tap Forms is your best bet. So you’re not on macOS Sierra or newer just yet? Which macOS version do you have currently?

    In any case, switching field types after the fact could possibly cause the data to be removed. What type are you switching from or too?

    But reordering the fields should not cause any loss of data. It should only change the position of the fields in the form. And by reorder, I assume you mean moving the fields up and down in the fields list as opposed to setting the Sort Order for the fields.

    Replying to my own post : Can the “form” button not be pressed while inputing data?

    Yes, you can press the form button while inputting data.

    Are you saying that clicking the Form button causes your data to disappear?

    Also, make sure that your form has a First Sort Field selected. If it doesn’t the records won’t display.
