What seems to be a bug suddenly appeared when I add a step to an action flow that would Add a row to a table. I have tried emptying cache/cookies and tried with different browsers and computers, but the bug is still there.

When I select the table I want to add the row to, it jumps back to the original table. But it works when selecting some random tables, but not always. And when I try to delete the action step, I have to do it twice as it disapears but then reappears. Video:

Do you find that this consistently happens with tables that have a pipe character in the name? Have| you tried selecting other table that have a pipe character?

I thought about this, as it seemed to have an initial effect. But up until a few hours ago all was working well, even with pipe characters. I also tried renaming the table and create a new one without pipe character but same problem. It also seems I can’t switch action type. And the original table don’t have a pipe character. Strange afternoon.

Yeah definitely some weird stuff going on. Have you contacted glide support?

Going by the Slack chatter, it seems that the inline templating preview is the culprit?

Yes, I can confirm this. The issue is with the inline templates preview. Turning that off solved the issues. Might be a reason to why it is called a preview 🙃 Better leave it out of production apps for now.

Isn’t inline templating in prod now? Can you still turn it off if it’s in production?

Thought that too, but I still see the switch in the preview settings. I’ve been using it here and there, but haven’t ran into any major issues yet.
