My name is Mike, and I’m a product manager on the Editor team. We’re releasing a new Bubble version today that includes a few important fixes to improve API reliability and data handling.
In previous versions:
Private parameters in the API Connector could occasionally read from irrelevant data sources instead of the intended context.
Random string generation within API calls could sometimes produce identical results when multiple random strings were created in the same call.
With this update, we’ve fixed both issues:
Private parameters in the API Connector now correctly reference only the relevant data context.
Each call to generate a random string inside an API call will now reliably produce a unique value.
These changes improve both data integrity and security when using the API Connector, so we recommend upgrading .You can upgrade to the latest version in Settings > Versions.
As always, we welcome your feedback. Thanks for building on Bubble!
Can you make a feature to turn auto-save off! It’s so laggy. It’s literally as simple as adding a button that puts - &issues_off=true - or something-or-rather in the url so that you can just manually save your work. Pretty unbareable the api connector with it refreshing after typing a single word.
Thanks for these updates, but can I clarify why is this a new Bubble version? Based on the updates you have mentioned, doesn’t feel like it’s a breaking change.
Are you still using math.random() or an actually cryptographically secure random value?
Also, is it OK to jump up multiple versions? For example, from 29 to 31? What even happens if you never upgrade, do they eventually automatically get applied?
Previously if you had a parameter, and had an expression for it in a workflow action, then made it private, it would still inherit the expression’s value and that expression would still be evaluated rather than using the private value.
@ihsanzainal84@georgecollier It’s a potential privacy issue because it could potentially mean one user has access to another user’s information - can be really impactful if it’s connected to a payment or wallet api, for instance.
