🚨 Critical Database Bug — Columns Panel Freezing & No Backup Access

Hello,

I’m currently facing a critical issue that has completely blocked my development process. After creating a table and adding a column, if I edit or delete that column and then try to access it again, the “Columns” section of the table becomes permanently unresponsive.

When I click on the Columns tab, the page freezes and never opens. The Rows section still works normally, but the Columns section becomes completely inaccessible. The only temporary solution is deleting the entire table and recreating it from scratch — which is not possible for tables that already contain a lot of data.

Additionally, I’m unable to create database backups due to this issue, which makes the situation even more critical. I had dedicated my entire weekend to development, but at the moment I cannot create or edit any columns in my database.

I’ve already sent a video demonstrating the problem. This is currently blocking all of my work, so I would really appreciate urgent support and investigation.

Thank you. @eldad

TL;DR
Developers experiencing a critical database bug where the Columns Panel freezes and they have no backup access. A fix has been implemented and is live. If encountering this issue, await the fix being pushed to the cloud. The problem is related to the frontend and may require server response details to investigate further.

hey, we're looking into this right now, can you see if you get any 5xx errors on your network tab? Trying to confirm if this is a console only issue or an API one.

I believe this is a frontend-related issue that needs to be resolved on your side. Yesterday, I submitted two separate support requests through your website regarding this problem, but I haven’t received any response so far.

I suspect so too, but can you please share the response you get from the server for the .../columns endpoint? this will help us better understand what's going wrong in the UI as it seems to not be easily reproduced from my checks.

FYI if anyone else is facing the same issue - we're pushing a fix to cloud RN.

Yes, everything is working smoothly now. The columns are loading fast and there is no freezing anymore.

Thank you again so much for your support and quick help! @eldad
