I find that whenever I add a new Glide table it takes a while to āsettle downā. What I mean by that is that as soon as a start adding new columns theyāll sometimes disappear almost as quickly as I add them. The same with re-naming or removing the default columns that come with a new Glide table. Iāll delete or re-name a column and then watch the change revert in front of my eyes. This almost always happens in the first 10-15 minutes after Iāve created the table. After that, itās generally fine.
Having said all that, this mostly happens in one specific app, which is a bit of a monster. I just had a quick look in the manifest, and it has:
66 tables
1535 computed columns
21k rows
Sometimes I wonder if Iām starting to push the limits in terms of computed columns and Iām half expecting the whole thing to implode one day
But how many is too many? (maybe Iām on my way to finding out)
I experienced odd behaviour yesterda, and I donāt know if I was too tired and I was dreaming, but did some modifications, checked on the real app and they werenāt being displayed, checked the editor and they were goneā¦
Iāve had it twice today, and these times Iām quite confident that it was not a mistake.
I cannot reproduce it and donāt know whatās the trigger: it happens on any types of component (choice, inlineā¦), whether the app is in production or not, and probably (but not sure), rather on details screen.
Very critical IF it is confirmed as a bug since a key component of our apps could disappear any time.
@Mark, have you already heard about this? In case you want to audit, the link to my app for support Glide
I just had a whole Glide Table disappearedā¦gone, out, kaput. Iāve closed the editor, reopen it, refreshed it, but it aināt there!! And also experienced some components duplicatingā¦alone. The Glide Ghost is around us
This happened to me a couple of times a few months ago. What I found was the table was still there, but it had become decoupled from my app. By searching for the table, I was able to link it back to the app and all columns Iād created were still there. Associated components were gone, but at least I was able to recover the table.
I have another fun one: sometimes, the columns are there, but the rows have disapeared. They re-appear if we close-open the app.
Et voilĆ Glide-Potter!
Yes, Iāve seen that as well.
Sometimes, Iāll create a new Glide table and manually add data to 2 or 3 rows.
Then a minute or two later, the rows will disappear.
So I add them again.
And then 5 minutes later, I find 2 of each row that Iāve added
