Ciao!
For the same project, I have these differences between the App I see in Thunkable preview and App iOS. These are:
Thunkable:
App iOS:
As you can see, the two text-Input fields contain different values. Those in the Thunkable version are what I expect (the Hint value) that instead don’t appear in the iOS version…
Grazie

Hello @rusticone 👋
It is weird.
Is this happening on these specific text inputs?
Do you have any blocks that set the text to empty?

Thankyou for your reply.
The block on open page is:
The two variables “savMese” and “savCategoria” come from another page and are filled with values or set to \*null.
My question in another way is: how have I to set a text input to let it show the \*hint value?
Grazie!

I don’t see any blocks to update the text input’s hint here, only blocks to update the text itself.

Thank you @matt_conroy
You don’t see any block with hint update because I wanted to output the one set in the design panel…
Grazie

Try to force it with the hint block when screen opens
Use the block showed by @matt_conroy
