Hi,
Congrats on the excellent piece of software.
I have a couple of issues I cannot go around.
First, I have 3 “pick list” fields, but whereas one would not allow to write in the text box (i.e. can only be filled in via de pick list), when I tap on the others, the textbox opens and the keyboard appears. I’d rather it didn’t, so noone can mess with the original list. But I cannot see what is the difference between those fields!
Second, I have observed that, by pressing “next” as I complete a record, it jumps back and forth throuhgh the fields, instead of going in order. Is there a way to arrange that?
Best regards,
Miguel.
Hi Miguel,
The difference is one is a multi-select and the other is not. Multi-select pick lists don’t let you type directly into the field, whereas single-select pick lists do. The reason for this is simply because for multi-select pick lists I generate a comma-separated list of values and then format that so each value appears on a single line by itself hiding the commas. I was attempting to hide that internal detail from users, so I prevent them from editing directly the field value without going through the pick list.
That’s a tricky one because it all depends on whether or not fields are off-screen. The fields that are off-screen don’t even exist yet in memory, so I cannot tab to them. So it really all depends on how many fields you have and also what kinds of fields you have. Since you obviously cannot tab to a photo field or other non-text entry fields.
Thanks,
