Watched Inputs - A simple way to limit query triggers

Since it’s built into Retool and not often talked about, I figured it was worth sharing.

It came in handy for a recent flow where I needed more control over when a query runs - without wiring up a bunch of manual triggers. It’s a simple feature that does one thing well if you know it’s there.

Hopefully useful if you’ve ever needed more control over when your queries run. :eye_in_speech_bubble:
