Hi NocoDB community and team,
I’m currently testing NocoDB for a logistics project and I’m really impressed with the platform so far. However, I’ve encountered a persistent UI issue regarding the Form View when accessed via a public shared link.
Environment Details:
-
Version: v0.263.8
Installation: Self-Hosted (Docker/VPS).
- Database: External PostgreSQL (Neon Tech).
The Issue:
I have configured a Form View that includes a LinkToAnotherRecord (LTAR) field (e.g., selecting a “Carrier” from a Master table).
-
In the Backend (Form Editor): The field works perfectly. I can see the dropdown, select an option, and the selected item is displayed correctly.
-
In the Frontend (Shared Public Link): The field allows interaction, but when an option is selected, it renders as an empty/white box. The data is there (if I submit, it saves correctly), but the user cannot see what they have selected.
Troubleshooting attempted:
-
Verified that “Display Value” is correctly set in the related table (Primary Key/Name column).
-
Tried toggling “Show additional fields” ON and OFF in the form field settings.
-
Tried enabling “Limit record selection to a view” pointing to a clean Grid View with only the name column visible.
-
Tried different browsers and Incognito mode to rule out cache issues.
Despite these attempts, the shared form continues to show a blank card/box upon selection.
Screenshots:
I have attached two screenshots to illustrate the discrepancy:
-
Backend (Editor): Shows the field working as expected.
-
Frontend (Shared Link): Shows the blank rendering issue.
Has anyone experienced this behavior with LTAR fields in public forms? Is there a specific CSS workaround or configuration I might be missing?
Thanks in advance for your help!
