Mobile Usage

I was hoping to log the location of the dog bins in our Parish (exciting I know), whilst using Parish Online via my mobile with the GPS tracking to get decent pinpoint locations. Now it didn't help that it was freezing and drizly, but I struggled to add features.

For example I started off with me on the map and a long press in the location I'm at. I get a menu offering to "Add Feature", so I click it. However nothing actually happens. Clicking around the page some more, the layer button bottom left brings up the Feature Editor. I drill down to Outdoor Property / Street Furniture, and in the category select Dog Waste Bin.
I then click in the Name / Description box to put the asset number, my keyboard appears, the page adjusts for the keyboard, which then removes the focus from the input box, and then the keyboard disappears. No matter what I try I can't type text in to these boxes. As a temporary work around I was able to type the asset number in to the address bar, copy the text, then long press in the Name / Description box and get a paste option. However I then didn't have any option to Save, the button was greyed out, with no hint to why. Only now that I'm back in the office and using the laptop can I see that the location hasn't been logged and that I need to click on the map, which was hidden behind the feature editor.

Ideally the workflow would be long press in the exact location, select Add Feature, the Feature Editor appears, I enter any text, hit Save, move on to next asset.

Now it's possible that the text entry is a browser bug as I know that Chrome is being a pain right now on a number of sites, but for reference: Samsung Galaxy S21 (with Android 12), Chrome Mobile 101, SwiftKey Keyboard.
