Formula breaking with deployment to production

Ask us anything
1

Hi everyone,

We encountered a weird behaviour yesterday, we deployed an app to prod (first deployment since 2 months after a big feature rework).

After the prod release, we realized one specific formula (on rendering condition) was broken.

Here is what the formula looked like (function was not in the same place as before and parenthesis was misplaced) :

Obviously no one touched it prior to deployment (last modification was couple of days ago on this element)

We were wondering if someone ever encountered something like this or if this was an isolated case?

Have great day!

Hey @ArthurC :wave:
Not sure what you mean by “function was not in the same place as before and parenthesis was misplaced” but on your screenshot, the formula isOwner is missing a parenthesis, so the toBool() function has an unexpected placement (that’s where the wwFormulas comes from).
So basically, the formulas are tangled! :yarn:

Hi @jptrinh, thanks for your answer!

We were easily able to identify the issue with formula and fix it.

The main interrogation here for us is that we did not modify it ourselves, so we were wondering if the deployment to prod could have somehow changed the formula?

Great, wanted to make sure that was solved :smiley:
Hum that’s unlikely, deployment have no impact on the formula.

Hi @jptrinh

Thank you very much

So it could be most likely due to an unfortunate drag and drop inside of the formula by someone working on the project
