App Studio - Event corruption?

Now that I’m beginning to build more advanced Kinetic layers, I’m finding that events will sporadically reconfigure themselves when elements of other events. Sometimes hooks will changes, sometimes parameters will change. Other times, certain attributes of an event action will mysteriously disappear from the UI altogether (like EpiBinding) until I clear Kinetic’s cookies and local storage via Dev Tools.

Initially, this is mildly annoying. But as a layer grows to include dozens, if not hundreds of events, this is becoming more than a nuisance. Add a new event? Another might inexplicably break causing your app to fail launching.

Has anyone been experiencing similar gremlins? This is impacting me in both Firefox and Chrome. I can’t imagine building out the complex layers of native apps with these issues.

I’ve had this happen, along with a lot of other random caching issues.

It’s a known issue. I’ve submitted a ticket a while back during the controlled release. No word on a fix, however.

In the meantime, make sure that you only have one event open at a time. I’ve found that to be the best way to avoid corruption and a lot of swear words!

Good idea, I’ll give that a try.

Here’s the problem ID: PRB0239507
Last status is “Completed”, so hopefully a fix is coming soon.

I thought I was just doing something wrong. Often my parameters change between previewing and editing. I am not using a browser, just customizing kinetic forms with the Application Studio. Given, my RestERP event doesn’t actually work correctly, I figured the parameters were changing on purpose when I put in a bad parameter. It is good to know that the community is already on this bug, and a fix is in the works! Thanks!

@hmwillett’s suggestion to only have one event open at a time appears to be helping.
