Hi, has anyone seen this...
I file that functions well on different iOS devices (iPad, iPad Pro, 32 GB w/ and w/o Cellular; iOS 9.3.5 and iOS 10) uses globally stored fields to hold some on device information between sessions.
Suddenly after a few months that functions stopps to work on two devices. On iOS 9.3.5 the app crashes and needs repair when opening, on an iOS 10 device it opens, but crashes when an attempt is made to write into those fields.
Taken back on a desktop it shows, that writing into the fields still works, they keep the value for one session, but after closing and re-opening the data is gone.
This is intended and anticipated behaviour for hosted files. It is intentional that only *locally* opens files store the value in a globally stored field.
We have no idea what causes that strange behaviour. Checked free memory and there was always enough space according to the info.
And what puzzles us even more is that the file behaves strange if opened both from FM 14 and 15 on a desktop system.
Any idea?

Thank you for your post!
I have been unable to reproduce similar behavior with Global Fields in FileMaker Go 15 on iOS 9 or iOS 10 between different generations of iPads and iPhones using a local file I copied to each device.
-Have you tried running Recover on one of these files?
-Would it be possible to get a sample with instructions to reproduce?
