Near Sync Data Loss

[Adrian]

I really love Tap Forms! Thanks for your great software.
I run the new versions of Tap Forms 5 on my Mac and iPhone. Near sync works in both directions. But the following action results in data loss:

Tap Forms doesn’t run on any device.

1. Open “Tap Forms Version 5” on Mac
2. Open database document “a” on Mac.
3. Edit content of field “x” of form “y” to value “1”
4. Close database document “a” on Mac
5. Quit “Tap Forms Version 5” on Mac
6. Open “Tap Forms” on iPhone
7. Open database document “a” on iPhone
8. Edit content of field “x” of form “y” to value “2”
9. Close database document “a” on iPhone
10. Quit “Tap Forms” on iPhone
11. Open app and document on Mac
12. Open app and document on iPhone

Now Tap Forms starts syncing and removes the whole entry “y” on both devices.

Short Version: If you change the same field in the same form of the same document on different devices when Tap Form is not able to sync immediately you will lose the entry when it syncs next time.
