URL query parameters break when previewing from editor

💬 App Building

It seems this is a bug and hasn't been fixed yet.

As a workaround, you could have a button for testing and hide it when needed. Add something like this:

// JS query: previewFixed
(function () {
  // 1) Start from your org + app info 
  const orgBase = "https://yoursubdomain.retool.com";
  const appId = "yourUUID";
  const appName = "Testing";
  const page = "Link%20actions/page1"; // url-encoded path segment(s)

  // 2) Build the correct URL
  const u = new URL(`${orgBase}/apps/${appId}/${appName}/${page}`);

  // 3) Add your own params first
  u.searchParams.set("myvar", "test");

  // 4) Then add Retool's release flag safely
  u.searchParams.set("_releaseVersion", "latest");

  utils.openUrl(u.toString(), { inNewTab: true });
})();
