When executing Modify function to change the dddw.property in the mobile application:

1) the value variable must be contained in single quotation marks. For example,

Unsupported code:

dw_1.Modify(""emp_id.dddw.name= dw_dddw_dropdown"")

Supported code:

dw_1.Modify(""emp_id.dddw.name= 'dw_dddw_dropdown'"")

2) properties must be separated with spaces when they are concatenated into one value. For example,

Unsupported code:

dw_1.Modify = "emp_id.BackGround.Color=" + String(RGB(192,192,192)) + "emp_id.Protect=1"

Supported code:

dw_1.Modify = "emp_id.BackGround.Color=" + String(RGB(192,192,192)) + " emp_id.Protect=1"
