Data field shows IQ and 3 dots

When a data field shows IQ and 3 dots , is that the same as a crash indicated by IQ! ? Or does it mean something else?

I've never seen or heard of "IQ..." appearing in a data field before, but if you have access to the device in question, you could create a couple of test apps with known crashes (such as array out of bounds and watchdog timeout) and see if any of them trigger this error message.

If you don't have access to the device in question, you could ask the user to send you a copy of CIQ_LOG.YML so you could try to the determine if there was a crash associated with the error message.

i've been seeing this randomly as well. Seems to happen simultaneously to multiple ConnectIQ apps and changing the field to something else and then back to the ConnectIQ app and all is good.

If that's the case, it's most likely the same crash as indicated by "IQ!".

I've seen the kind of behavior you described in multiple generations of devices (except it was the "IQ!" message). Pretty annoying that it keeps recurring tho.

Anyway, just to make sure, I created a CIQ data field with a deliberate crash and sideloaded it to my 955 (which is new to me, and for which I hadn't seen which icon/message is displayed for a data field crash yet.)

Yeah, 955 displays "IQ..." instead of "IQ!". So I'm almost certain it's simply a new error message/logo to indicate the same old kind of crash.
