Calculate RandomString Appears to be Broken

Hello all,

Hopefully I won’t live to regret this post, but it seems to me that the ‘Calculate RandomString’ function appears to be broken.

It was working properly in my app as of last week and even when I revert to previous builds that were functional, it does not seem to work.

I tested the function by creating a button on a page that would generate a randomstring if clicked and it returns nothing…

Just wondering if others are having the same issue or if I have broken something on my side…

Thanks all

Are you by chance only using numbers in the string? If so, I think they’re treating it as a number and not a string (which is odd, seeing as how it’s called “calculate random STRING”). If you’re trying those settings to set a text field, I think it’ll error. Not the expected behavior from what I can see.

It appears that Bubble just upgraded the type system, which could have resulted in the bugs.

I have always been including letters (although I tried to resolve the issue today by playing around with the settings).

Facing same issues no data generated for calculate random formula along with prepare a text plugin

CalculateRandomString now seems to default to a number instead of a text value… This will break functionality on a lot of our apps @bubble

The issue is resolved and seems to be linked to the release rollback
