Only some data saving in forms
Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2018 9:40 pm
Hello
I am brand new to Base. I am trying to build a database in which to track human rights violations for a non-profit. I have made a table and a form into which the data can be entered. The data is a combination of text fields, tick boxes, option buttons and combo boxes. When I make an entry into a record it only saves the data in the text fields and the tick boxes. Everything I enter in the option buttons or combo boxes will be lost as soon as a navigate to the next record.
I have made a fake entry in the database and taken screen shots to show what is happening.
Picture 1 is what it looks like once I've filled in the various parts of the form - you can see I have chosen some of the tick boxes and entries from the drop down boxes as well.
Picture 2 is what it looks like when I move forward to the next record - the sheet is blank, ready for a new entry - great.
Picture 3 is what then happens if I navigate back to record 1. The client name and ID stay, as do the selected tick boxes, but the drop down choices are gone. I don't think this is related to saving the entry because half of the data are saved every time.
Any help here would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Abigail
