My form has various controls including a multilineedit all linked to a dataset and datacolums, I have added a save and cancel button to the form calling the respective dataset methods. With Chrome on PC and Safari on iPad I can edit the text in the multilineedit click save and the memo field is updated in EDB. On my Android 8.1 Nexus device the saving of the multilineedit is unreliable on most attempts not updating the EDB database. All other controls on the form edits, comboboxes and checkboxes save correctly on all devices.

First port of call should be the general Javascript on that device - search for others having this issue. EWB is just using the underlying technology, and there have been other things where Android has chosen to "not work in a standard way". Or had bugs. That may give the solution, and if EWB has to change to accomodate a real requirement, then Tim will have the solution.

If the device has a debug capability, that may help too - breakpoint it to see the state of the DOM etc.

Matthew, that is a great  tip, I have set up my phone for USB debugging but cant replicate the problem today, but at least can debug the state from my phone in the future.
