# Works with arena desktop but not with arena mobile

Asked by Rajkumar on 2023-08-19

Dear OFT,
I have developed a form named 'inventory6'. I have decimal value fields and convert them into string and concat them to put one multiline text field to get preview of the survey result in the field by surveyor to take immediate decision. It works fine in desktop preview and records after publishing. When it comes to arena mobile (both official and unofficial) it hangs, when trying to add record. I can add no record. If the cocated field is deleted, it works as intended in mobile otherwise not. I think, any survey should work that is developed in desktop. Please help me. Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Rajkumar Rimal

Dear Rajkumar,  
Both Arena desktop and Arena Mobile share the same core functionalities; it can happen that Arena Desktop gets updated some days before Arena Mobile and you see some new features or bug fixes earlier.  
We will release soon a new version of Arena Mobile with a fix, please be patient.  
Next time we will try to keep the release of Arena and Arena Mobile aligned.  
Many thanks,  
Open Foris Team

Dear OFT,

Thank you very much for your constant development of arena. One thing I want to tell you some time ago It was not possible to use something like this script `sum(spl.stand[species == '1' && strata == 'tree'].treevolume)`. and your team made it possible to use this either desktop or mobile. Now, again I cannot use this script either on my desktop or mobile. Same happens no calculation is made. Please, consider making it possible again.

Thank you very much in advance.
