Two features that it would be nice to add to the mobile app, that would make life easier for both users & developers:

1. In a text column with Drop Down, the "Allow users to create new choices" option does not seem to work. The user is limited to select one of the pre-existent choices.
2. Form behavior is apparently not taken into account in the mobile app. It would be nice if at least some simple form behavior was available. For instance, to have some columns shown/hidden depending on the answer to a previous prompt.

Without these features, the use of the mobile app is quite limited.

Here is a feature that would be an wonderful addition to the Mobile Device Alert action: The ability for the user to delete an alert.

Alerts are automatically deleted after 30 days. But the mobile user might not want to keep the alert for the full 30 days if he has already read it or taken care of the issue. If he gets many alerts, he might want to keep his inbox clean.

Here are some suggestions:
- Add a trash icon to the alert, so the user can delete it on demand.
- Add to the alert a swipe left action that deletes it.
- Add to the Mobile Device Alert setup the option to set the number of days before an alert is deleted from the user's device

Jorge, what I ended up doing was create a PWA (html and JavaScript) using the API and a proxy we run on cloudflare. It is more laborious process, but it ended up fitting our needs better. May be a better approach depending on the complexity of your database. If you take the approach, I highly recommend making a copy of your database as a Testing environment, cleaned of any proprietary data, hosting test records, and API keys limited to that DB.

This approach also requires diligence security hardening, and CRUD testing. But by using our proxy come out we end up with better scope permissions.

If there is an interest, I can take the time after the weekend and see how hard it would be to make a cleansed/redacted version of that repository

Thank you for your post. Interesting. Please don't do the work of preparing a cleansed version just for me. It's not that critical.
