Hello everyone, I find a bug with External collection.
If the user, refresh the webpage with external collection with filter.
All the data are available, is a big issue.
Someone have the same problem ?
Also is impossible to put this topic in bug
@Ben that is normal .

Hello, I think Iām having the same problem that Renaud is saying here. Hereās how I am replicating the bug each time:
Iām using an external collection (airtble database) and have made a custom list. I have set a filter on the list to show only specific records from my database. Iām using a filter which connects to a property of the user, say ā{user_designation}ā = āexecutiveā where the āexecutiveā value is pulled from the userās login input via magic text.
In the mobile app, when I load the screen with this custom list, in the beginning all the records in the list is displayed, which quickly corrects itself after approximately one second to show only the filtered records. On desktop, if I recreate the same list with the same set of database and filters, all the records show up but they donāt go away after 1 second. They remain there until I perform any sort of action or click a button (this could be clicking on a link and going back, clicking on a button with a āblankā action, etc.). This is frustrating because it opens up the possibility of the user accessing information theyāre not supposed to, on the desktop app. They can also do the same in the mobile app, if they click on an item on the list before the filter kicks in, but Iām at least trusting that they wonāt be fast enough.
Please note that this only happens if I set the filter to query from Adaloās database via a magic text. If I set the filter to simply as {user designaton} = āexecutiveā then this doesnāt happen
Iāve found the solution here @j.renaud

I donāt really understand the solution.
I need to create a blank screen before make a redirection to the page ?
Because this happen only if the user refresh the page
Hello @j.renaud
I found a better solution than the above workaround, that Iāve now mentioned in that thread. This eliminates the need for having an input field altogether, and works 100% of the time, even after pressing F5 on a page. This is based on an observation that running any action triggers the filter to āreadjustā and work properly.
What you need to do
So what you need to do is add a āblankā action in the screenās properties (e.g. āChange input valueā but keep the fields empty; see the image below), and this triggers the filter to run correctly whenever the page loads. It does add a jarring stutter every time you transition back and forth the page though, so you can disable screen transition animations since they arenāt used that much in web apps anyway

Hello, Iām looking to understand screen transitions better. Could I ask please, where is the setting to disable screen transition animations.
Separately, when setting a screen transition to Push or to None, does that choice control just the visual effect in how the new screen is rendered, or does it control other things as well, like data passed to the new screen or other parameters.
(Iām not seeing a description of this in the Adalo training, hope I didnāt overlook something obvious.)
Thank you,
Russ
To disable screen transition animation, I just set the screen transition to None.
As for your second question, it only controls the visual effect on how the screen is rendered, nothing else. The data is passed normally and is not affected
AddyEdwin, thank you, much appreciated!
