For both Simple List and Table widgets, there does not appear to be a way in the Property Inspector for either widget to associate the widget with a Collection (or specific fields in a Collection). I thought this would be available when the Cloud Collection version dropped? I assume it is still due in a later release?
@Researchware I’m not sure if I am missing something here in your question… You can bind a dataview or a collection to both a simple list and the table widget. There are still some improvements to be made to the table widget in terms of binding but it does work.
In the property inspector there is a databinding tab at the top. IF you click the data icon it will take you into the data binding section of the property inspector. There you can bind to a dataview or a collection.
Aha, I see it is working. The fact that the main tab of the Property Inspector (for a Table widget as an example) still shows the “default” fields of Dessert, Calories, Fat, Carbs, Protein has me thinking it was not working.
I would expect that, once a widget has been bound to a collection, that this section (the “Table Properties” section in the main PI tab) would EITHER refelct the fields in that collection OR not appear at all. Having show the default ot local field names is confusing and possible prone to errors by the developer trying to manipulate the collection by changing fields in the “Table Properties” general tab of the PI.

Yes, this is covered by what I meant above in “there are still some improvements to be made to the table widget in terms of binding”
But glad to see you’ve been able to get it working.
Cheers
