User mistake to lock the filters of a data object

Bug reports

Proof that end users will always find a way to mess up the guard rails you put in place…

In my app, I accidentally pasted a filter into a data object that was set to “Read All Objects”.

Since Appfarm has these nice features that disables the filter if “read all” has value, as well as the other way around, I have now managed to end up in a situation where both have value, and therefore they disable each other.

I tried recreating it, and I was only able to do this on objects that were subscribing to updates. Think it would make sense to disable the paste option in these situations as well :slight_smile:

Hi, and thank you for reporting this.

This inconsistency has been reported internally, and we will update this topic once it’s fixed.
To get out of this disabled state, disable Initially Subscribe to Updates, and make the data source Runtime Only. This will clear the filters and let you edit the data source again.
