Hello, I am using an enum in a form and select โbuttonsโ because I would like them to display this way.
There are only 2 choices which I input.
I have done this and saved it multiple times, and it always goes back to the drop down format in that question.
Why, dear lord, why?
I tried bringing the font size down, but that didnโt work, and it wasnโt that large to begin with.
What am I missing?
Thanks so much for your help!
@Miranda_Lubarsky Hi Miranda, what are the names of the app, table, and enum column in question?
Dinh, thanks so much for your time!
The app is called โHFF Client Lists & Info Sheetsโ.
The table is called โPlant Dump Listโ and the column is called โReason for Dumpingโ.
@Miranda_Lubarsky Hi Miranda, I believe Iโve found the root cause of the problem. When you set the input mode of the column to โButtonโ, you will receive a warning message in the editor, which can be viewed in the Info>Errors tab. The warning message indicates that since you configure the column to allow for other values that are not included in the list of pre-defined enum values, you can only use the drop-down input mode. If you want to use the button input mode, you will need to disallow other enum values by changing the setting โAllowOtherValuesโ to false. Every time thereโs a new warning, the editor will display a small yellow box to notify you. It is a good practice to regularly check these warnings in order to diagnose problems in the app early.
Thereโs also another unrelated minor problem. The enum values of the column are texts, but the columnโs base type is set to โNumberโ. Although this is not causing any error at the moment, it might lead to subtle and hard-to-detect bugs in the future. As such I suggest that
you change the base type of the column to โTextโ.
Thank you Dinh!
This is SO helpful!
