Maintain scroll position
AddyEdwin
If you have a list of items, and clicking on an item takes you to another detail screen, and then you click on the 'back' button on that screen, you automatically jump back to the top of the list instead of being on the item you had clicked.
Maintaining the scroll position is very important for those apps which have numerous items, and scrolling down every time after clicking on a detail page seems like a bug that could probably be addressed easily, and should be.

Just a heads up everyone, something I found by accident is, if you change the transition from your initial page to 'slide up' and then click back on the following page, it does seem to maintain scroll position. In my case i'm clicking a list item initially. Works on iPhone at least (PWA). I haven't tested other transitions but hope this helps

By the way in a chat you can activate reverse scroll and it at least takes you to the last message.

Hey all, please stop messaging me & I won't answer anymore here this is my last message. FYI I already left Adalo already as one of the early contributors/users of the platform. I don't think this was fixed at all as they are more busy with pricing models now and tracking usage lol

Torch: 100% love this!

Well this is my first day using Adalo and the first feature I'm thinking is a show stopper to using Adalo.
Update: after publishing to Apple Store it appears this issue does not happen in native apps only in the browser version. Lowering the severity of this to high but less critical.

Hey team, I have built an events app with over 100 events. It's terrible UX for users to go back to the first event on the screen if they click back. Hope we can have this as an update soon!
Wilhelm Löwe
It seems to be resolved with the new responsive features. Just made a quick test and it worked! Thanks soooo much!

Wilhelm Löwe: how did you do it?
Wilhelm Löwe
Reyvant Tambi: I did, nothing, it just remains the scroll position in new apps that are responsive, at least in my test.

Reyvant Tambi
Wilhelm Löwe: in the PWA or native app?
Wilhelm Löwe
Reyvant Tambi: It only seems to be working in Desktop Apps, on mobile it still loses scroll position.
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: for me this doesnt work in the PWA. I tested several transition types. After coming back from the detail modal the list always scrolls back to top.
Wilhelm Löwe
Timo Fischer: it only works in desktop browser. We need more people to vote on this! 🧐
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: I use a "Desktop browser". It doesn't work there either for me.
Wilhelm Löwe
Timo Fischer: i will make a Short video of my App where it works Beginning of next week
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: Thanks so much. It would be really interesting to see the difference. E.g. is it only on custom lists with drop down filters that I use etc.
Wilhelm Löwe
Timo Fischer: I tested again and it works on chrome, firefox, brave and safari on mac and in safari on iOS. It seems either to be depending on the particular settings or the „bug“ has been resolved … or it just happens random? Here’s a desktop screen capture: https://www.loom.com/share/b5ae6c7d9bd1470c9c82e7f8725862f1
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: thanks Wilhelm Löwe. It always goes back to top for me. I will check if its the dropdown filters, that I use. Perhaps they are triggering a new data load. They also often lose the selected value before going to the detail page when coming back. I will let you know, but it's great to know that it can work :)
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe so I tested again. For me this works exactly as in your example but only as long as you don't use authentication in the web app. If you log into your app and the list is on the homescreen then the screen always moves back to top after the modal. If I define the screen as welcome screen (as in your example) and dont login at all, then it works. So somehow the authentication check seem s to change the viewpoint, unfortunately in a real world setting you need authentication. And if you use paginated lists it doesnt work at all, when you scroll beyond page 2 as the data beyond page 1 is not there anymore when you come back from the modal.
Timo Fischer
I added a bug report on this with a video, that shows that it only happens after user login: https://adalo.canny.io/bugs/p/adalo-20-web-app-returning-to-correct-position-in-list-from-modal-only-works-wit
Wilhelm Löwe
Timo Fischer: yes, i can reproduce that. Only loses Scrollposition when logged in.
Timo Fischer
Wilhelm Löwe: I filed a bug ticket and the support said they are aware of the issue and working on it. They couldn't promise a timeline though. But fingers crossed this get's solved soon as this is a blocker for production applications
