I can't see anything after change page title and url setting via Inspector

  1. My goal: to be able edit my page again

  2. Issue:
    I’m unable to edit my web app anymore.
    After changing the page URL setting to data, the app disappeared and Retool now shows a blank white screen except header. The app is not deleted, because I can still access it via the preview link using the new URL: /app/inventory-management/data before /app/inventory-management/InventoryManagement.

  3. I tried reproducing the issue by creating a new app and setting the page URL to data, and the same problem occurred.

  4. Steps I've taken to troubleshoot

    • Changed apps name (top left red rectangle)
    • Changed first page setting using inspector (top right red rectangle):
      • Changed page title General retool was fine
      • Changed browser title Data retool was fine
      • Changed page URL to data or Data retool suddenly black white,
        I tried refresh same blank white, cleared cookies and relogin same, no error log on console tab or on network

Can anyone help me with this?

Okay I found workaround by duplicate the problematic page, and since the copied page using data-1as page url it’s fine. Retool should block user input data instead.

@dchis Thanks for reporting this, this was very much needed. I was able to reproduce the issue on my end as well. data is indeed a reserved word for page URLs, and there should be a validation alert to prevent users from naming or renaming a URL to data. I have gone ahead and surfaced this to the engineering team.

Thanks again for flagging this, really appreciate it! :pray:
