Content of Collection View is not visible in Mobile App

Hey there,

I am currently facing an issue, where the collection view component does not show the content of the individual fields on the mobile app. In the preview and the editor everything looks good, but the collection is empty in the app. I tested it with all different kind of devices, but unfortunately no change.

My approach is to switch back to the list view, but maybe there is another solution as I really like the features of the Collection view.

Best

Hi @Patrik0412,

Thanks for reaching out about this! Are you able to send me an app json? I'd love to take a closer look. This doesn't sound like a known issue :thinking:

Hey tess, thanks for your answer. Please find the json attached. The Custom Collection is on the DetailScreen of the App.

Hey Tess,

are there any updates on that topic?

Hi @Tess,

just wanted to know if you could help me with the problem. Tried different things, but the content of the custom collection is not visible in the mobile app. The preview of the app in the browser is working as expected.

Hi @Patrik0412,

Thanks for checking in! Apologies for the delay! I am able to reproduce the issue, so I'll report it to our team. That said, it's been tricky to reproduce outside of this app, so I'm not sure what the timeline would be for a fix. I've been looking for a workaround in the meantime. The best workaround I can find so far is to move the text components out of any container. This makes it more challenging to align the components, but they do show up on mobile as long as they are only in the collectionView and not in a nested container.

Hey Tess, the problem is fixed. Not sure if it was an update of the app or just the rearrangement of the text components with new containers. Unfortunately the containers inside the collection view now overlap. The text component on the right is now overlapping the checkbox. Not a big deal. I just added a padding of 32px to align the text next to the checkbox component. But it is something worth mentioning :slight_smile:

:thinking: Interesting! I am still able to reproduce it with the original json, but I'll mark this as technically "solved" for now.

I'll still follow up here if our team ships a fix for this bug. Definitely worth mentioning about the overlap too! I'll follow up with the mobile team on that internally
