Why did retool remove the ability to copy outputs from resource queries?

This was such a needed feature. I find myself struggling even more to build apps correctly. is there a workaround or other option?

Hi,

You could add a JSON explorer component and show the output or error data there.

Hi Tony,

Did you used to get the query outputs by using the "Preview" button which was recently removed?

If so, then you could add a vote to this already existing topic on the subject...

Hi @tbommer, I don't believe we've had that feature on the app building side before, since we currently have an open request for that feature. We do still have it on workflows if maybe that's what the confusion was!

In the meantime, maybe this post can serve as a workaround?
