Hi

Am having an issue with airtable forms on android where i open the form in the airtable app.

Half way through filling in the data, if i rotate the screen orientation, all entered data is reset to blank fields.

The internet version of the same form link does not have this issue.

A bug fix for you.

Hey there, I know this is very late, but for anybody coming across this in the future I just wanted to mention that our miniExtensions Form can help avoid these kinds of situations entirely. We have both an "auto-save progress" option, as well as a Save & Continue mode, that can either manually or automatically save preliminary records to Airtable. The "auto-save progress" feature, in contrast, works by saving the user's input in their browser, so they can even close the tab and open it back up again later to complete their submission! Both of these settings can help prevent similar issues and work great on mobile, too!
