Recently I have been developing some applications and have noticed some strange bugs in Kinetic Application Studio.
If the widget you add automatically gets an arrow, you delete the arrow and add it to a new widget there is no arrow just a line between the two widgets not allowing you to save the application. You then have the delete all the widgets and not have the arrow automatically connect to save your work.
Sometimes my logic would not make any sense when previewing the application. Using the developer tools it just made no sense seeing it go through the logic. Example: a row would hit a condition statement and would be false. It would go through the false logic and then go through some of the true logic…Refreshing the page after saving would result in Application Studio reorganizing my widgets to look nicer. Great!..Oh wait they added an arrow to my widgets resulting in what I was seeing in the application preview. I have also had experiences with Application studio deleting my logic resulting to me losing hours of work. This was not a result in me not saving my work for the record.
My Logic:
Application Studios Revised Logic Upon Refresh:
Anyone else had any of these experiences? I am working in the browser on 2023.2.16. I reported this to Epicor but they do not have any answers for me yet.
I’ve seen this kind of garbage, too
What I’ve experienced usually involves trying to change branching logic (True/False or OnSuccess, etc.) - so I started putting a console write on all of those branches so that I can (more) freely edit the arrows.
Basically, if I do have to edit one of those branches, I delete, save, close Application Studio, re-open, and continue … tedious
It seems like it sometimes loses the session, but keeps “working” … so it looks like everything is going well, but all the saves are going nowhere. I always look for the blue “loading” line at the top of the page after I hit save. If it doesn’t show that line, it’s not saving - close and re-open to see what is actually saved. The longer I’m working/messing around with logic without running a preview, the higher the chance of this happening
Great! Hopefully this fixes the changing of logic/deleting logic bug as well. I will do some testing and see if it does or not.
Only took us 3-4 years to get this fixed? I am sure I was not the only one who had reported this issue but I did send support multiple videos and detailed instructions on replicating this bug.
I have same problem in 2023.2.17. Most programmers will always need to go back in and change logic flows. Lost a lot of time re-creating the event flows. Hoping in future versions that the product will be tested more before releasing for GA.
