Item Description
Enhancement Changes to format rule icons:
  • Icon rules that don't specify a highlight color will again inherit highlight color from other active rules (consistent with mobile behavior).
  • When a Ref column references a row whose Label column includes formatting, the Ref values will now include the Label's formatting when displayed in dropdown inputs (consistent with how they are displayed in other places).

New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 25% of paid users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 10% of paid users.

Bug For desktop UI (preview), fixed a bug where Ref drop-down values could appear blank if the referenced row has no Label. It now shows the Ref's own value (referenced row key value) as currently happens in other places.

New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 10% of paid users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users.

Bug Fixed a bug that could cause columns using a list validation expression to be unexpectedly cleared when the existing value is invalid and a column dependency changed. This behavior of automatically clearing invalid values was meant to apply to "dependent drop-downs" where the valid options of a drop-down are influenced by the value of a previous column. It was being incorrectly applied too broadly, including cases where some other expression on the drop-down column (not the validation expression) is influenced by the changed column. It will now only be applied when the validation expression depends on the changed column.

New: Deployed to all users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 75% of paid users.

Bug Fixes an issue where app creators with only partial access to the app's sources would not be able to see any sources.

New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% of paid users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users.

Bug For desktop UI, more aspects of inline views will be persisted after expanding them.

With this change, user modifications to an inline view (such as a dashboard entry or a table in a detail view) will be kept upon expanding the view on the desktop, as they would be on mobile.

For example, if a user toggles the column sort order of a table in a dashboard view and then expands that entry, the table rows will now stay in the same order. This also applies in the opposite direction: if the user makes further changes to the expanded table then collapses the view, those changes will still be seen upon returning to the dashboard view.

New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 75% of premium users.
Preview: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% of premium users.

Item Description
Feature AppSheet apps for desktop users (Preview)

The new desktop design, currently in preview, is optimized for desktop browsers, presenting a more complete view of information with a consistent organization and structure. The new desktop design lets users navigate their apps more easily and access information in context, and provides an efficient way to edit existing records without losing context. The legacy desktop design, enabled by default, provides an experience similar to the mobile and tablet device.
