        Hi,

        why does the Auto Field UserName always return an empty string in the desktop version?
        Is an in-app login necessary or is there another solution?

          Hi Alexander,

          the autofield “userName” returns an empty String because your app has no login implemented (anonymous usage), so there is no user logged in for this App, that is why the autofield is empty on the Desktop. You need to implement a Login to your App (new Login Screen in UI Designer + Server Action in Process Designer)
          This will give the Desktop access to the logged in User. On the mobile phone this is always possible because the User needs to login and thus autofield is not empty.

          Hope this helps.

          Best

              Hi there,

              is there a fancy way to use or bypass the login during testing and developing?
              or at least to keep the user logged in for development purpose. or manually be able to set the AutoField.

              Because our datamodel behind checks for empty string/null value…

              best regards,
              martin

              btw: i really appretiate your response time, chris! keep it going 🙂

                Hi Martin,

                you could use a Global Variable with a Constant for testing purposes, simulating the Login.
                The Easiest way would be to use the Mobile Client and use the “Save Login” feature though.
