Environment Selection Propagates Across Different Apps

đź’¬ Queries and Resources
1

Selecting an environment in one app (e.g., App A) also changes the environment in another app (e.g., App B). Environment selection should be scoped to a single app and not propagate across different apps.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open App A in Retool.
  2. Select a different environment (e.g., switch from “Production” to “Staging”).
  3. Open App B in a new tab or refresh an existing tab.
  4. Notice that App B’s environment has also changed to match the selection in App A.

Expected Behavior

Each app should maintain its own environment selection independently. Changing the environment in one app should not affect other apps.

Hi @lyrold,

Thanks for reaching out about this! Currently, this is by design, as the most recently selected environment is cached in your browser (rather than tracked per app).

We have a feature request in our backlog to have this scoped per app instead of across the organization, but I don't have an eta on if/when our team will pick up that request. I can post here if I get any updates
