Hi Brendan,
Thanks for bringing the “inverse relationship” option.
I think I caught a couple of bugs in Tap Forms for Mac v2.1.
– I use both U.S. English and Cangjie Chinese input. I can’t type or switch to Chinese when I am in a text field in the form view. (Ironically, I can still type Chinese in a Number field.) I have to do it in the tabular/list view.
– After clicking “Add a new linked record”, the top tabular/list view still shows the parent form’s field names. The list actually holds the child form’s data. Just that the field names are not refreshed.

Hello Alan,
1. When you say the form view, do you mean the default layout or a custom layout? I haven’t tested typing in Chinese on my Mac before.
2. I see that. Strange. I know it was working before, but somehow it’s not. I’ll get that fixed.
Thanks!
Brendan
Thanks for your quick reply. To answer your question, I meant the default layout.

Hi Alan,
Ok, I’ve fixed the table heading bug where it didn’t change the field titles.
I think the issue with the Cangjie keyboard menu item being disabled is due to the fact that Text fields are now a special case of the NSSecureTextField control. I changed that recently to support masked fields on the Mac. But I didn’t know about this unintended consequence.
If you go to a password field on a webpage in Safari, are you able to switch keyboards there? I just tried that with my bank’s website and it won’t let me switch to the Cangjie keyboard either. I’m guessing this is some strange OS X behaviour for secure entry fields. Does that mean you are unable to use Cangjie characters for passwords?
Thanks,
Brendan
Hi Brendan,
No, I can’t switch keyboards in a password field in Safari, so yes I think we can’t use Cangjie characters for passwords.

Ok, I’m going to have to figure out some solution for this. I needed to use the NSSecureTextField to support the masked field function. But it seems the system hijacks that and disables the alternate keyboards.
