Hi, there are multiple text-fields in Retool, which are hard to handle, when the entire field is cleared to replace the content with the wanted content.
For Example:
I want to “Run this query periodically”, which gives me a TextField with default=5000. When i remove the 5000, the TextField sees itself as empty, removes the Checkbox and the TextField is gone and i have to start over. Why the hell? Let us write the new value first, before deciding, there isn’t any!
Another good example is the fixed width on the stack-children:
Any zero-ish-value will instantly change to a whole different outcome, without any chance to complete my input. Let me complete my input, before deciding to override it
This behaviour is annoying as hell, could you please review the use of it?
Apologies for the issue, that definitely sounds like s UI bug if the checkbox is changing without you toggling it in the query settings.
I tried to reproduce this and it was not showing me this behavior. Let me know if I am missing any steps. I am doing this on cloud so my version is slightly more up to date (3.327) but I can test this out on 3.284 as well.
Also for the fixed width of a Stack component set to display the children in a Grid, on my cloud version it looks like there isn't an option for width so I wanted to confirm I am looking in the right place before thinking that this issue may have been solved with a newer version update
I just got word that the ticket I had filed for engineering related to having the "Run this query periodically" option unchecked when you clear the Period interval property while editing it has been marked as completed!
It should be getting rolled out to our live Cloud orgs shortly. If you are self hosted, I can give you the version this update was released to
