Editor/UI Flickers constantly with large Query being loaded

💬 Workflows

Hi Retool team,

I’m facing an issue in Retool Workflows. I have a large SQL query (around 1700 lines, Select .. from ...) inside a SQL query block. Whenever I open or interact with this block in the Workflow editor, the UI starts blinking / flickering and becomes difficult to work with.

  • Environment: Retool Workflows
  • Query size: ~1700 lines
  • Issue: Editor/UI flickers constantly when the query is loaded

Is this a known limitation or bug in handling very large SQL queries in the Workflow editor? Any workaround would be appreciated.?

Hi there, welcome to the community

That does sound like an extremely large query! I imagine it would be challenging to work with for the user.
Can I ask if there's any opportunity to reduce the size of it, or maybe you can expand a little on how the query is produced and what the use case is?
