Synchronize to Device + Nothing (preserve data). Data gets removed when logging out and back in.

0
I am using the following synchronization method for a certain entity in the database.   "Nothing (preserve data) – Do not download any objects automatically, and do not clear the data stored in the database for this entity when performing a synchronization (this can be useful in cases where you want have full control over the synchronization and should be used in combination with the Synchronize to device or Synchronize activity with specific objects selected)."   I am using the 'synchronize to device' method and have put the settings of the object on 'Nothing (preserve data)'.   The problem is that logging out and logging back in deletes the data (despite of the 'preserve data' setting).   How can I make sure that logging out and back in does indeed preserve the data?   Thanks in advance

Simply put: signing out of the app will delete all data, always. The only way to preserve it is to synchronise the data to the server before signing out.

Hi, I am also experiencing the same problem.  This behavior is inconsistent with the documentation, which states that items for which the anonymous user does not have access are removed.  If all roles, including anonymous have access to the entity then the documentation implies that it will persist.  This is the first place I have seen where it is written that "signing out will delete all data, always."
