  1. My goal: Change an event handler from debounce to throttle
  2. Issue: when I select it toggle the model pop up just disappears without changing. So i am unable to use throttle on event handles. I can set a value, i just can’t change it from debounce to throttle
  3. Steps I've taken to troubleshoot:
    1. I have tried multiple components on multiple apps
    2. I have tried with a value in the input and without

Hi @PadenM

I checked this on multiple apps/components in Retool Cloud, and I’m facing the same issue. When trying to switch the event handler from debounce to throttle, the modal just closes without applying the change.

Looks like this isn’t a configuration mistake but an editor bug.

Also worth noting — this behavior is consistent across Retool Modules and Mobile apps as well, so it doesn’t seem limited to a specific app type.

I’ve attached recordings for Retool App, Retool Module, and a Mobile app video reference as well for better clarity.



Requesting the Retool team to please look into this issue.

I believe this particular issue has been fixed in version 3.373.0! Let us know if notice any odd behavior or have additional questions.

We are still having this issue.

Hey @JeebieWeebie - it seems to be working in my latest testing. Are you on a cloud organization? And can you share a screen recording or app export?

We are experiencing this issue on the stable branch 3.334. Will a fix be backported or do we have to wait until the next full stable release?

I just confirmed that the fix is live on 3.334.16, @conornash!

I’m also experiencing this issue on v4.11.0 when trying to swap between debounce and throttle in an action sheet in Retool Mobile. Selecting ‘Throttle’ causes the ‘Edit Click Handler’ pop-up to disappear without actually changing the setting.

And to be clear, this is on both the action sheet click handler AND the children actions.

Welcome to the community, @finbrown! Thanks for flagging this. I hadn't previously tested in the mobile IDE, but just confirmed that the bug is still present for Action sheet actions, in particular. It's a bit hacky, but you can technically circumvent this issue (for the top-level click handler, at least) by first configuring the debounce/throttle setting for a different action type.

I'll let the team know that this needs to be fixed and give you an update as soon as I can!
