System Generated View won't edit

[Aku]

Hello ! Something is driving me crazy. Maybe someone can help me to figure it out.

I've created a simple table. Kind of todo list but with purchases : when it's done, I check a Yes/No column. I display the content as a table in my app. When I select a row, the Edit Action (system generated) is triggered and it open the Form View (system generated).

But when I try to edit the Form View, the changes (ex changing column order) doesn't affect what is displayed in app.

It acts like if a hidden view exists in parralel of the official one I try to edit.

I tryed to delete this system generated view to let appsheet regenerate it but the problem still.

Confirm that the view you're editing is the same one you're referencing in the app where you don't see the changes. At the bottom of the app preview pane, you can always see the name of the current view.

Ok it seems it's neither the view neither the table. The displayed view is just called "form" (which not exists) and the table is a slice, not the table itself.

I think I will create a custom action to open the form I want. Am I right ?

The view name in the preview pane I pointed out is a hyperlink to open the view's configuration settings.

I'm not familiar with the possibility of seeing a form view that does not exist.

I don't know. Try it. You could also try editing the view you do see in the preview pane.

I see yes. When clicked, the link leads to an irrelevant view. Not a form and not the one displayed for sure. I think (but I'm not sure) it is the first one I created in my app.

Try to create a new form view out of your slice and position it to REF .　And cusomize this form view to match with your needs.

This happens when there is no view of type Form in the ref position for the table or slice. There are conditions where AppSheet does not automatically create the ref views. When this happens, you'll need to create the view yourself, as @Koichi_Tsuji advised.

Is it possible to rename a system generated view?
