I have a weird case. When I repair my AVD it says number field 10 and up are empty but the tools show the fields are there. I restarted DC app already. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/d/ad93dbdc7c92264195a004085efd8f3a7c5861cd.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/7/474b773b675211dd63b2bdab982c5db662cba61d.png) ---

Open repair and send me a diagnostic? And perhaps PM me the TEF? ---

Hi Arie, I try to create a new AVD and after creating I can not create fields in the AVD. There is nothing below ā€œVelden Sorterenā€. I tried with 3.0.1 as well as the test version. Even if I import one of the examples, I can edit the example, however after saving and re-opening the AVD is empty. This is both from the iOS mobile app as well as the Web interface I can edit my existing AVDā€™s like normal, so it looks like creating the AVD is incomplete?. Any clues? I donā€™t understandā€¦ ---

@Frans_Vos en @SunBeech and others, The issue has been resolved and the new version (3.0.2) is already live. My bad. On of the things i did with version 3.0.0 was a huge clean up. When i created the AVD about 4 years ago, it first used the Settings page of the device (instead of a custom Repair screen). In that settingscreen you could choose each field 10 times. But because i wanted so much the Setting screen could not provide, i build a fully custom screen. However, to keep already made AVDs working, i build a ā€œtransformā€ part into the AVD. Those parts have finally been removed with version 3.0.0 to clean up quite some program-lines. But šŸ˜… those lines got activated if the new ā€œcustomā€ settings didnā€™t exists. Which is the case for all new AVDs. And in those lines, the new Settings were created (empty, but still created). Without that (single) line, having a empty AVD creates errors. So, extremly easy fix, and i have created a empty AVD in my test folder so that if anything like this happends again, ill get an error while developing. My appologis for the bug and have fun sorting your fields šŸ¤­ **N.b. When you change Button1, all buttons below it are re-ordered in the sequence of their number. This is because the button1 is ā€œspecialā€ (or at least some ShowAs options require button1 to be the first button). In a next version ill put an info-text at button one so users will know this.** ---

Hi Arie, I seem to have encountered something else, which is strange to meā€¦ I try to make an AVD controlling 4 dimmable lights; more or less as in your template, called Lampgroep Woonkamer. I have the buttons from the ā€œ5 lampsā€-template where the OnOff button toggles the AVD. But I do not have the Then-flowcards to turn the AVD ā€œonā€(Zet Aan) or ā€œoffā€(Zet Uit) that I have in other AVDā€™s. How can I change the AVD to get these? I do not see the difference with other AVDā€™s I created. And, depending on wether I have Button 1(OnOff) on the Button tab or its own tab renames the other buttons to their own names or Ja/Nee ![afbeelding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/d/6d6e0746929809c4a7b08910a962687fb81d5ec4.webp) ![afbeelding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/d/3d0bb78840f43fcde359f45b4916cce3c4666d9d.webp) Further more when I set the class (Apparaatklasse) to Lamp, something strange happens. The status on the bottom of the tile acts as a lamp, and on the web interface the tile grayes out and the status goes to Off (Uit) when the tile is switched off with the On/Off button. However in the iOS Homey App the tile grayes out but the status only changes the percentage to ā€œšŸŸ” Aan - 0 %ā€. See below screenshots with different statusses. ![afbeelding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/1/31e1e244e3fdb051bf601c7cfd29f030337f1fde.jpeg) ![{D0E24E43-7EFE-44DD-BA37-4E4BBB75790A}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/e/be2b2546d5a9db9c50c9e473fada64bfd0a18369.png) ---

> [@Frans\_Vos](#): > > But I do not have the Then-flowcards to turn the AVD ā€œonā€(Zet Aan) or ā€œoffā€(Zet Uit) that I have in other AVDā€™s. Well, first of: each AVD has its own custom `set field to x` flowcards, in this case, you could use the `set button to yes/no` . The reason you dont see the default homey flowcards: Turn On and Turn off, is because they only are shown when you have a real On/Off button. ![1000344157](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/4/c4e354870aacd7581f2cef30978475a7db27680a.jpeg) Turn this checkbox on and you will see those default flowcards. (You can only check that box for each unique ShowAs field). > [@Frans\_Vos](#): > > And, depending on wether I have Button 1(OnOff) on the Button tab or its own tab renames the other buttons to their own names or Ja/Nee Yes, changing the Button 1 makes that all other buttons are recreated. However, that the names go wrong is a bug. Could you PM me this bug and i hope i can fix it asap. > [@Frans\_Vos](#): > > However in the iOS Homey App the tile grayes out but the status only changes the percentage to ā€œšŸŸ” Aan - 0 %ā€. Okay, well, i know there is a setting for a light that when 0% it will also toggle the on/off. I guess i might need to implement that in the AVD settings. However, the fact that its behavior is different on iOS (and for me on android it works like the webapp) to me means its a homey ā€œbugā€. You should contact them. (And not sure what changed, but i cannot select or any status indicators anymore if the class is ā€˜otherā€™) ---

Thanks Arie for your patience, I love the app but sometimes get lost in the number of possibilities and settingsā€¦ I turned on the mentioned box and directly I got the flow cards šŸ™‚ The PM is on its wayā€¦ Probably the status of the lamp is a memory thing, when the AVD is switched off from the ā€œSnelle actieā€, the status is not updated and when I open the tile afterwards I see that the slider is still in the last setting. A second after opening the tile all is set as supposed (even if I wait for more than a minute before opening the tile) Iā€™ll look into that and contact Athom if necessary. ---
