Table event handlers disappearing

💬 App Building

  • Goal: Event handlers to always be retained

  • Steps: Making changes to existing pages and tables in a multipage app

  • Details:
    I've noticed that sometimes I'll be making changes in a page and at some point in the editing I'll lose existing functionality.
    The first time I noticed it I was working through a list of small changes and noticed when I was testing e2e after making all the changes that multiple event handles on table columns had disappeared. I hadn't edited the table or the columns so I had to reapply these changes manually which was time consuming and worrying since some of this functionality was quite detailed and I didn't want any regressions

Today I've noticed that I was editing a page and I've experienced more worrying behaviour.

  • A modal title source has changed - I was showing a label and now it is showing an id. I haven't edited the title at all or edited the source data, I haven't even clicked on the modal title in the editor
  • The event handler on the column that triggers the modal to open has disappeared

This is really worrying and it's undermining the reason that I considered using Retool in the first place - to make small changes more efficient. This is because I now have to either get rid of the changes that I've done and start again or comb through the changes in the 'compare changes' tab.

Hi @Emily_Wheatcroft,

You're not the only one experiencing this, and this seems to be something the Retool team is aware and working on. See similar thread here.

Tagging also @Erin_Masatsugu for visibility.

@Emily_Wheatcroft Can you share any screenshots? And, is this happening more recently. Also, be sure that you don't have the app open in two separate tabs or are logged in on another browser....Sometimes, I have found that a quick refresh of the app helps.
