Please use the flowcard create diagnostic first and send it to me, it will give me important info about the location of the icons. I need to know if there is a bug placing them in customicons instead of deviceicons.

Hey I just read this, I have the same devices without icon issue.

I thought it was because they just were a bunch of older AVD’s and did not want to change icons so it was no issue to me.

Which card is that, Arie. Can’t find it.

Hi Arie, I really need a flowcard to set all numberfields on a device to a value in one operation. Now I need 24 cards to reset all values to zero.

Found it Arie. I just sent a diag of an old AVD, “1. Homey’s Mood”.

Hey peeps, monday ill work on all support, right now i got some time of with the wive and kids.

@Peter_Kawa , yeah, thats an Old AVD. Technicly i could save the icon, but it would require me putting in sourcecode that could potentionally create this kind of issues, “only” to save a few AVDs from a few tester.  
But then that risky code would stay in it and go live, rwulting possibly in these exact same situation: icons missing.  
I choose before going live to not save those old avds, especially since recovering the flows is quite easy.

The other issues ill fix.

No problem for me, Arie. I get your point. Maybe I’ll replace those old avd’s one day.  
Have nice weekend!

Yeah, i really enjoy it that way 😛  
Nah, kidding, it should be resolved in the current Develop version.

And yeah, that just took more than 2 hours of my live again to solve… ☹  
Grrrrrr, i finally found out whhy Device Settings/Repair, for every App i created, has a very very very small view in tablets: As soons as i call  
`Homey.setTitle()` appareantly, the view gets a large as the title is…  
This off course is a bug i suppose, and will report it to Athom.

Glad i finally figured it out, i allready spend a lott of time trying to resolve it (for hoop and others).

* * *

Just created a support ticket:  
Here the images, so everyone understands why this goes wrong.

Hey Kai,

I have added an All fields\* to every Set card.  
So set Expression shows the All \*\*\* for all types it has configured:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/a/2a3291029ff2fe070d2537eac369a84d552faaf9.png)

And every other card has one added for its type:

Arie, I have a feature I don’t get yet:

When I use this ‘Then’ card

> ![Screenshot_20221003-153044_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/9/0979917823935c320d22a8cd19257d729f7cc867.jpeg)

I can choose to select this. What does “Execute flowcards (When)” mean?

Very irritating, someone still using Homey Mobile App 😛

Answer: It means that after you set the value, it will execute flowcards (When) for changes.  
So if you have a flow with an actioncard If \*\*\* is Changed/Set, it will trigger it.

Hahaha, it’s just that I’m often on a smartphone for forum visits.  
Funny fact, I’ve had no graphical issues with your apps at all 🤪 (Samsung S9+ and app settings @ developer page)

So, okay, when I don’t alter the default “nothing else”,  
the WHEN flowcard  
“if [capability] is set/changed”  
will **never trigger**?

Okay, odd choice to make “nothing else” the default value.  
… while “nothing else” is default, I never did set it to “Execute flowcards (when)” with every card.

Well, now I need a card which sets all my “set [capability] to text number” action cards “nothing else” option to “Execute flowcards…” 😅🤪

Its just, before i made the option, Using flowcards to set a value would never trigger a If \* Set/Changed flowcard.  
Please note that AVD fields can be set without cards: through other apps or Homey Web/Mobile App.  
This would trigger the flowcards also.
