In a page from sql DB and I changed some numbers to Selects, but they suddenly became numbers again

[humble crow]

I create a CRUD page from a mysql table. I change one of the fields in edit and add forms to Select and put some code for it. While I'm editing these suddenly become numbers again. I don't know when, actually, I'm not sure it is somehow connected with using Ctrl+Z. Have you experienced something like this?

1. Appsmith Community v1.8.8Released 21 days ago

I change this to Select type

I change its name

I change options to: {{get_servicetypes.data.map(u => ({label: u.name, value: u.id}))}}

then I deserlect the selected invoice in the list

and when I select it back

something happens and my change is not there any more

and this happened to my like 20 times in the last 2 months

I couldn't understand why it happens

today I somewhat have some more info, but not enough

The same thing happens with the partner id in the the same form

same thing sporadically happens in the other forms as well

the app reached a point in which I need to use it, but I'm forced to check the selects if they are working properly, to copy the Options in a separate text file so I can copy-paste them instead of writing them down every time

Check this video, after I change the numbers to selects I deploy the app

and when I refresh it for the first time and select the invoice from the list I see the things I've changed for 1 second and then they become numbers again

this is in the deployed app, not in the editor!

Hi! Please disable the Auto Generate form property of the JSON Form if you
don't want to layout to update automatically when the field types inside the
Source Data are changed.

the field types are not changed during that select/deselect action!

Let me reproduce this and check.

[humble crow]

probably there are some steps which I'm missing which I don't know are related to it

I mean that I'm working on that in the last month or so, so probably anything that I did during that period of time could have caused the stars to align in such a way that this is regenerated both in editing mode and in runtime

[strong sapphire]

So you mean that it's turned back to number once you refresh the page or select
a different row in the table?

[humble crow]

I think I've explained it really well. However, to be more specific: while in editing mode if I deselect a table row and select another one it also changes the field type back to number

in running mode I found that it is shown as type number, but type Select flashes just for a second after selecting a row for a first time

I've shown the running mode (deployed app) in a video I've uploaded

after I turned off auto generation it indeed worked and now it is fine, but I doubt that auto generation should work like I explained, seems like a bug to me
