Notification alert not showing "view" option

  • Goal: When there is an error notification to show, I want to make sure the user can see the full details of the error.

  • Steps: In edit mode, I can see a "view" option on the notification -- I basically want the same behavior in live. I tried moving the notification positioning but this doesn't help.

  • Details: I am self hosting on version 3.75.5-stable

  • Screenshots:

  • App json export: Not possible

Hi @fortuni Thanks for the detailed report! What type of query is this? I do expect you to be able to display the error info there :thinking: It's also a bit surprising that the query name is cut off so much.

Do you have the response section filled out for this query? If you hardcode an error message, does it show up in the notification? If so, I'd go ahead and add a dynamic condition for displaying the actual query's error message

Hi @Tess , this is a regular API query. I tried to add a failure condition like you have, and tried a bunch of different things for the error message but none of it causes the error message to actually show in the message -- it's still cut off at the query name.

:thinking: Really strange - I'll ask around internally about this. Any chance the app or organization has custom css?

Appreciate the help! Nope, no custom css.

Hi @fortuni,

It looks like a fix to un-truncate query names in notifications went out on Friday - are you still seeing the text cut off issue?

Ah we're on the self-hosted version 3.75 stable -- will this fix be available on a patch version of 3.75?

No, unfortunately it doesn't look like it was backported to any of the stable releases

If you manually add a notification event handler, is it also truncated?

Ah, this led me to the solution -- the relevant error message for me was actually on data.errorDetail (not data.error.message) in the response section of the query. data.error.message and query1.error were always giving empty string hence the lack of error message.

Thanks for your help!
