Queries being duplicated when making the transition to an app

  • Goal: I noticed that when I added one of my legacy apps to the new app format it looks like the queries,variabled, and transformers were duplicated.

  • Steps: I went back to the legacy app to see if the structure was duplicated there as well. It was not.

  • Screenshots:

I believe this might be a UI bug but I want to make sure.

Thank you for any help!

Hi @Jordan_Castro_Sauder ,

Thanks for reaching out -- what new app format were you migrating to? Were you migrating a single-page app to a multi-page app? Also, are you able to share an export of both the legacy app and the new app so I can look into this?

Hi @Erin_Masatsugu

Unfortunately I can't share an export of the apps.
Yes I was migrating from a single page app to a multi page app.

It only happened for this one page.

Hm -- does the duplication persist after refreshing the page and clearing cookies?

Yes, it still persists. I'd try to re import the page but I have made a lot of changes to that page within the app already. But do you think that might fix it?

Yes, can you try re-importing the page to see if the same issue happens?

Hm, interesting enough the issue also happens in the new page. But only when importing that specific app.

Although I can't share the whole JSON export, I wonder if there is something specific I should look out for?

Unfortunately it's hard for me to figure out exactly what's happening without seeing the app export. Can you send screenshots of the Code list in the legacy app? As well as a screenshot of the queries listed in the State tab.

Did you find solution/cause for this? I have the same problem, the folders with queries inside of them keep multiplying. Seems to be an UI bug, since deleting or opening the folder does the same for all instances.

Hi @Anze_Savli,

It does not seem that we were able to reproduce this to solve the issue.

If you are able to send me via private DM a JSON export of the page that is causing this issue I can share that with Erin and our engineering team to get to the bottom of what is happening and hopefully fix this issue for you!

Adding + 1 to this problem, although I have been using a multi-page app since the start.

My Global code folders are replicating and it appears to add another copy of all folders when I create a new page within the app.

As you can see below I now have 4 copies of the folders (s3_utils, mathc_utils, etc )in my global list.

The two queries that are not in folders remain unique as expected.

The second image shows that when you expand any of the copies of a folder the UI expands all the copies with the same name.

Running Cloud-Hosted v3.335.0

I have cleared cookies, logged in and out and behaviour persists.

@derek_c Seems like this is definitely a bug.

Can you share with me a JSON export if you app so I can work on this with the engineering team? You can share in this thread or DM me!

Hi @derek_c , is this issue still happening for you? If so, do you mind sharing your app UUID here?

Hi @Isabella_Borkovic, logged in this morning and all working again as expected. Seems like 3.338 solved it. Thank you.

Great to hear it! Just so we can do some debugging on our end, do you mind sharing your app UUID?
