Parameters Not Showing

[Louie]

Hi There,

I'm having issues with this tutorial. I have successfully completed all steps, however, the redirection on login isn't working.

My table looks as follows:

However, when I am creating the DataPage for 'Login Screen', I do not see any List DataTypes within the Insert Parameter drop down.

I have tried manually typing the parameter in, but this causes the script to jump straight to else and return the incorrect page. I hope this makes sense!

 

If someone could advise why the parameters aren't appearing and why they're not being looked up when manually typed in, I'd be grateful!

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Louie,

It looks like the List data type is not supported in auth parameters.
I tested the same field as in your table to check the value in the browser console and it is empty:


Console:

Please note that the List data type is not rather normal for the databases. So, it has some restrictions that are mentioned in this article. I cannot see exactly this restriction so you may check with the support team  https://howto.caspio.com/tables-and-views/data-types/list/

It is always better to use the Text(255) field instead of List_String.

Hello @Louie,

I checked with the support team and they confirmed that the List data type is not supported in the Authentication Fields parameters.
They will update this article https://howto.caspio.com/tables-and-views/data-types/list/
So, please change the data type for the Role field. It should be Text(255).

If you have further questions, feel free to update this thread.
