6.3 app var link bug

[mramos]

I exported 2 apps that I recently made changes to from Production (6.2) to an environment that has latest version 6.3.


The issue I discovered when comparing 6.3 to 6.2:



In 6.2, I have some app variables that hide/show tabs (Tab widget). The app vars are initially set using the initial value (optional) in NAB.

set up as 'true' (NAB)

app vars linked to tab set to true but not hidden.png


App var is initialized correctly as true. the app var is linked to the tabs and the tabs are to be hidden when true. They are not hidden as shown in the screen shot.

I linked the app var to a button text. It is initially set to true and therefore should hide the tabs highlighted in red. This works as intended in 6.2but NOT in 6.3.


When I make the modification in 6.3 to set that specific app var to true on startup (NAB behavior) the app behaves correctly as it does in 6.2.

Thanks for reporting this. We will attempt to replicate it and get it fixed in the next update.

Unfortunately, we are not able to replicate this one. We created an application in 6.3 where the main section has a tab panel and an app variable with an initial value of true linked to two of the tabs' hide property. It also has a second tab container in another section linked to the same app variable to hide tabs. Both tab containers have the tabs hidden as expected.

We might need to schedule a quick meeting next week to see what else might be going on. Please reach out to us to schedule a quick meeting @ support@cnxcorp.com
